There are three stages to heat injury: Heat Cramp, Heat Exhaustion and Heat Stroke. Here is what happens to a casualty who suffers from heat stroke.

Don't forget that treatment from heat injuries includes: 
   1. Removing the casualty from the environment
   2. Removing all clothing
   3. Moisten the entire body
   4. Fan with a shirt or other means.

Don't over cool the casualty.
