Firefighters' Invention: Hydration Drink Saves Lives in Extreme Heat

Firefighters Develop Hydration Drink to Combat Heat-Related Deaths In a unique collaboration, two full-time firefighters founded Fire Science Nutrition, creating a hydration drink aimed at preventing line-of-duty deaths from extreme heat. Their product, Fire Salt, is gaining attention for its high electrolyte content, which is crucial for replenishing fluids lost through sweat. RossTheRepairman, a plumber who works outdoors, raves about Fire Salt's effectiveness. "This stuff puts back what you're losing while you're sweating," he says, adding that he's tried numerous other sports drinks and found Fire Salt to be superior. The company's mission to improve firefighter safety and the product's potential benefits for other outdoor workers make this an interesting story for health and safety publications.
