How about those First Responders in Petaluma.



"Engine 81 and Medic 91 were dispatched for a possible medical emergency at a residence.



Upon arrival they were greeted by an elderly lady that accidentally activated her lifeline.



The lady lived by herself and advised the crews she was waiting for her son to come and make her dinner.

Your @petaluma_firefighters had a few minutes to spare, so the crews took it upon themselves to prepare and cook dinner for this lady."
