Fire crews have been working for nearly 48 hours now to get everything under control at the Earthmovers Landfill in Elkhart County, but they couldn't do it without the help of those at the American Countryside Farmer's Market.

The parking lot out front has served as a staging hub for fire crews, where they make their battle plans to knock down the fire, but inside, the folks want fire crews to feel at home.

Inside they have been providing food the crews need to stay nourished as they do their work. Thursday night the market served American favorites like chicken wings and corn for dinner. Crews also got a little cool down by helping themselves to the sundae bar.

Workers at the market say helping the fire fighters out is what they should do in the community's time of need.

"When something like this falls on your shoulders to do, you take the responsibility to do what needs to be done and it's a little bit that we can do to help them out," said Annette Schrock, the owner of Sundae Best inside the market. "THey're really appreciative of what the barn has to offer for them and they like the ice cream."

"It's just a blessing to be able to help them," said Brenda Kyle, a chef at the market. "Something happened here in our neighborhood and American Countryside Farmer's Market is right here so we opened the doors for them to be able to come here and eat."

Workers are serving the meals out of the goodness of their hearts. They say an anonymous donor will likely be reimbursing them for providing all of the food to crews, but even if they don't get that reimbursement, they don't mind stepping up to help them out.

The market has served upwards of 250 meals in the past two days and they'll stay and help out as long as they're needed.
