   That building, 1923 Vermont Ave NW, is actually the headquarters of DC Fire and EMS. If the fire department needs to hoist a banner on its own headquarters building, it seems reasonable that they use one of the many, many ladders they own.

   The real scandal would be if they hired a contractor to do it.

   Speaking as someone who has hoisted many a banner, I would tend to concur that this is a pretty good use of the resources they have available. Presumably they had a plan to mobilize if there was an emergency call.

   Exactly - the number of guys "just standing around" likely needed to be there to jump on the truck if there was, you know. A fire or something.
