During the Pikes Peak Air Show, extreme heat caused around 40 to 50 attendees to experience heat-related illness, demonstrating the critical need for hydration and shade options.
Fire personnel promptly responded to multiple cases of heat-related illnesses at the event. The Colorado Springs Fire Department expressed that additional resources were necessary to handle the situation.
As the air show continued under the open sky with temperatures reaching 93 degrees, officials emphasized the importance of staying hydrated and utilizing available resources like water stations.
The airshow encouraged attendees to prepare for direct sunlight, suggesting hats, sunscreen, and even umbrellas, while also offering an upgraded Canteen Experience for shaded comfort.
