Casper firefighter Coby Faulkner pours water over his skin while trying to cool down after helping fight a fire at USA Trucking on Poison Spider Road in Mills on Thursday.

He said firefighters must keep hydrated to avoid heatstroke and other heat-related illnesses. Photo by Ryan Soderlin, Star-Tribune.
