## Resource

Hydration is one of the most overlooked performance factors for firefighters, especially during long shifts, live fire training, and high-heat incidents. On this episode of Fueling Fire, host Megan Lautz breaks down how much fluid firefighters typically lose on the fireground, why just drinking water is not always enough, and the critical use of electrolytes for performance and recovery. She goes over building a hydration plan for a 24-hour shift, recognizing the early signs of dehydration, and what to drink before, during, and after fireground operations.
