Employees #1 through #3, all fire fighters, were battling a house fire. They suffered from heat exhaustion and dehydration due to the warm weather and to the unusual construction of the house. Employees #1 through #3 were hospitalized. A medic unit had been assigned to run the staging area, which was poorly organized. There were no medical checks, and no provisions were made for ventilation and fluid replacement when the fire fighters replaced their air bottles. | |||||||
