During the Pikes Peak Regional Airshow in Colorado Springs, approximately 100 individuals were treated for heat-related illnesses, with ten requiring hospitalization.

A heat advisory was issued by the National Weather Service, predicting temperatures between 93 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit, which contributed to the high number of heat-related cases.

The airshow took place on Saturday, where temperatures soared to 96°F (36°C), prompting a swift response from the Colorado Springs Fire Department.

The fire department reported cases of dehydration, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke among attendees, highlighting the event's challenging conditions.

In response to the heat, organizers encouraged attendees to stay hydrated and provided a free water station near the medical tent.

Despite a shortage of free water, attendees were able to refill bottles at the medical tent and purchase water from vendors.

Colorado Springs Fire Chief Randy Royal praised the quick actions of organizers and emergency officials, which helped prevent serious injuries during the event.

The airshow continued into Sunday, with officials advising attendees to bring refillable water bottles, umbrellas, and hats for protection against the heat.

For the second day of the airshow, the Colorado Springs Fire Department urged attendees to prepare for the heat by bringing water, hats, sunscreen, and umbrellas.

The event, held at the Colorado Springs Municipal Airport, was sold out for both days and featured performances by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels and various modern and vintage aircraft.

This incident follows a recent case in Texas where a UPS driver was hospitalized after passing out from heat exposure while driving, underscoring the dangers of extreme heat.
