Proving that heat is no match for the power of government efficiency, the District has announced a number of measures to fight what is expected to be the hot and hellish days ahead. They’ve got cooling centers, fans for special needs residents, extended hours at public swimming pools, and street showers. They’ve even changed the operating hours at the DMV’s Inspection Station in Southwest until Wednesday.
We are, of course, a little bummed that the District won’t open up some fire hydrants and let weary downtown office-goers frolic in the water on the way to the Metro. That’d be sweet.
