## Resource

Three thousand soldiers are sweating through a heatwave without air conditioning after an electrical fire at a water treatment plant knocked out critical deep-well pumps powering their AC units. The outage hit Schofield Barracks, Wheeler Army Airfield, and Helemano Military Reservation, forcing troops to conserve water while one pump motor is repaired—expected back online early next week. Commanders say AC should be restored before the weekend, offering relief from the sweltering temps, though a long-term fix involving potential relocations isn’t expected until 2030. For now, the focus is on cooling down and keeping morale steady amid the discomfort. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
