The National Fire Protection Association states that in 2014, there were 1,298,000 fires reported in the United States. With such staggering numbers it is no mystery why this has been a "Hot" topic for Prism Analytical Technologies to research and address. Though we have little to offer in the way of fire prevention, we can help to reduce the number of illnesses or symptoms experienced following the fire and smoke clean up.

Baseball and softball umpires are affected by heat-related illness like other professionals who work in the outdoor environment. Many officials are volunteers while other receives compensation for their efforts. Regardless of the level of officiating from Little League to the Major Leagues, most are affected by heat-related illness in the summertime. Although heat-related illness is discussed in general by some colleges and high schools in their programs, the umpiring associations engaging these officials has failed to recognize the hazard and risks. In order to provide awareness of heat-related illness and how it affects an umpire’s performance on the field, a presentation was created to train officials to understand what happens when they fail to hydrate, rest, and take the necessary precautions that can affect their health. Heat exhaustion is the primary cause for umpires to make poor judgments for calling balls and strikes as well as making critical decisions on rotating into position to make calls on plays. Many lower level officials will take assignments for doubleheaders or multiple game assignments in the summer without regard for their ability to meet expectations. By creating awareness, we hope to improve the lives of baseball and softball officials and improve their performance on the field by understanding the effects of heat-related illness.The Health Effect of Heat-Illness on Baseball and Softball Umpires
