"SUNLAND PARK, N.M. — It’s a relatively quiet — and hot — afternoon at Sunland Park’s Fire Department Station 1.
Some firefighters working the shift are prepping for dinner. Others are doing office work.
Suddenly, a loud radio call blasts through the station’s speakers.
“I think it’s going to be a female subject, possibly undocumented,” a female dispatcher says.
Four firefighters rush to get ready, which includes loading ice into a cooler. The ice is essential — it's used to lower the body temperature of someone in distress from extreme heat. "
