Abstract

This paper expresses educational viewpoints on preventing "heat stroke (hyperthermia)" for firefighters who are in charge of pre-hospital care such as "life saving and relieving the sick/wounded" considering how firefighters are liable to heat stroke and knowledge that is needed, based on example cases. It is essential to have knowledge and measures to prevent heat stroke considering its particularity not only to firefighters engaged in disaster relief activities but also to people with other occupation and sports.
