As we are in the grips of a dangerous heat wave that appears to have no end in sight, we should all take a second to remember those who make a living working in this incredibly hot weather.

Even when heat indexes range from 105 to 110 and even hotter, there are those who's very livelihood depend on them being outside in this suffocating heat.
