Last summer, on one of the hottest days in San Jose, California, a small fire broke out on the deck of one of our neighbors in our condominium complex. San Jose Fire responded immediately and quickly took care of the situation. As is always the case, they responded in full firefighting gear, despite the 100º+ temperature.
After they departed the property, my son suggested that we should do something nice for the firefighters. I asked what he had in mind. "Let's get them some pie and ice cream and take it to the fire station." So we did.
We delivered three pies and three quarts of ice cream about 7:30 that evening. The look on the faces of the firefighters was priceless. Pure gratitude -- just as we were grateful for all they did to keep our community safe that day.
