Steps for being a first responder to someone with heatstroke and seizure? i've helped others before at cross-country meets, but want more info.

Call 911: If a person is having a seizure for any reason, your first step should be to call 911. Do not attempt to restrict movements and do not attempt to place anything inside the mouth of the person having the seizure.
