Local Trivia: D.C. edition

The number 10 fire engine in Northeast Washington, D.C. is the most-used piece of equipment in the nation. It gets taken out an average of 26 times a day.

The police in D.C.'s Trinidad neighborhood are already at the highest alert level possible -- which includes riding horses around the neighborhood.

There seems to be a bird in Northeast able to mimic the sounds of various emergency sirens and car alarms, which is willing to chirp them all in random, rapid succession.

"Welcome to Baghdad, D.C.," said Arthur Spitzer, legal director for the ACLU's Washington office. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/06/04/AR2008060402205.html.
