Red Cross Representative Collapses at Press Conference

Charles Wells (far right), the Director of the American Red Crosses "Response, NYC" collapsed at the scene of a 7-alarm-fire at 665 New York Avenue in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, NY, last week. FDNY spokespeople said that Mr. Wells was conscious and alert by the time EMS had removed him to Kings County Hospital for treatment. He apparently collapsed due to heat exhaustion.
