Most of them "have been very proactive about treating their symptoms and only needing a place to cool off," DFR said in a news release.
Treatment for these patients have mostly been ice packs, water, being placed by fans or in an air-conditioned tent; with the occasional administration of IV fluids.
One person has had to be taken to the hospital.
