Airman 1st Class Jeffrey Albright, 99th Security Forces Squadron journeyman, drinks water in front of the Area 2 gate July 2, 2013, at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev. Working in near-record temperatures as high as 117 degrees, Airmen must hydrate frequently in order to avoid heat related injuries such as heat stroke. Additionally, work-rest cycles should also be considered. The heat wave, which includes parts of California, Nevada and Arizona, is expected to last the rest of the week.
