The Prince George's County Fire/EMS Department treated 36 people who attended President Obama's political rally at Bowie State University Thursday afternoon, including two who had illnesses not considered life-threatening and needed to be transported to a hospital, said Denise L. Dickens, the battalion chief at the department.
Most of those treated suffered from dizziness, but there was one confirmed case of fainting, said Tammi L. Thomas, director of university relations and marketing at Bowie State.
Dickens said today that she did not have further information about the two who were transported to the hospital.
Thomas said that Bowie State officials estimated the crowd size between 7,500 and 8,500 people. The temperature in Bowie was 71 degrees when the rally ended.
"The sun was extremely hot, they were packed shoulder-to-shoulder, and everyone was standing for a long time while they waited for it to start," said Mark Brady, spokesman for Fire/EMS. Brady added that most, but not all, of those treated were senior citizens.
Bowie State's Thomas said that some of the people were not dressed properly.
"If you remember, it rained all day Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and it was chilly," Thomas said. "On Thursday it was sunny, but some of the people came dressed for chilly weather."
