ya, were working in an average heat of 68 Degree C (w2ith the humidity factored in.) acording to medical guide lines we can only be in the space for 20 min then we have to be out in an air conditioned place and relax for 40 min. and we have to drink 1L of water every 10 min we are in the space and some more when we are out. for the most part we can follow that but there is on guy on a watch that has to stay down for 40 to 50 min at a time, and when we are conducting drills most are down there for 1 hour solid. we have had a few heat related injuries. I even went down from heat exhaustion after a fire exercise when we were around panama.
hard on the body when your not used to that kinda heat.
