Yesterday the PBS News Hour ran a story about the Phoenix Protocol, described below with AI assist.  This should be standard operating procedure at all outdoor summer training facilities in heat danger zoners.

All Phoenix emergency responders have ice machines on premise and carry bags of ice on responses.

The Phoenix Protocol

The Method: When a patient's core body temperature hits dangerous levels (around 104°F or higher), responders place them inside a specialized blue body bag and fill it with ice and water.

Why It Works: Water has a much higher thermal conductivity than air, meaning it cools the body down significantly faster than traditional methods like ice packs or air conditioning.

The Results: Medical professionals note that this technique can safely drop a patient's core temperature from 110°F down to 101°F or 100°F by the time they arrive at the emergency room, drastically lowering mortality rates. You can watch the full PBS NewsHour Video for more details.
