The homeowner, Brian Enriquez, said he released the video to raise awareness about the dangers of the heatwave. After reviewing the footage, Brian called UPS to inform them of the situation, saying, "I was worried because the driver was staggering. If I had arrived a bit earlier, I could have talked to him, but I didn't get the chance."

UPS stated, "The driver is currently okay," and added, "UPS delivery drivers receive training for outdoor and hot weather conditions. The driver immediately contacted a manager and received assistance." They also said, "We never want our employees to work to the point of harming their health."

Recently, the United States has been experiencing record-breaking heatwaves day after day. The area where this incident occurred has seen temperatures exceeding 37 degrees Celsius almost every day for the past month, with a maximum temperature of 43 degrees recorded on the day of the incident.
