Great BALLS of fire!
I think the Allentown F.D. has the right idea. If you notice the back brim of their helmets are equipped with a protective sandwich pouch. This enables each member to carry a sandwich with them at all times so that they can be insured that they will never go hungry while on duty. The citywide command chief’s vehicle actually has a medium sized warming oven which can turn a helmet brim sandwich into something very similar to a Quizno’s sandwich. Way to go A-Town Fire Company! … What they lack in ‘Bread and Butter’ they make up for in ‘Bread and Cold Cuts’!
