In the scorching heat, a worker renovating an old house in Tainan suffered a heatstroke yesterday (2nd) evening while working on the 5th floor and couldn't stand due to profuse sweating and leg cramps. With no staircase but only scaffolding on site, it took an hour to rescue the worker using a basket stretcher to slowly lower him down to the first floor. The incident highlights the importance of proper hydration and adequate rest for laborers working in extreme temperatures to prevent heat-related illnesses.
