Protect yourself: Drink lots of water. Stay in the shade as much as you can. Avoid alcohol and caffeine. Recognize warning signs of an impending heat stroke and go to a cool place and drink cold water: heavy sweating, fast breathing, rapid pulse, muscle cramps, dizziness, nausea, pale skin.

Heat Stroke!: Heat stroke is the most serious form of heat injury and is considered a medical emergency. If you suspect that someone has heat stroke -- also known as sunstroke -- call an ambulance immediately and give first aid until paramedics arrive. http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/heat-stroke-symptoms-and-treatment#1
