Florida firefighters buy an elderly woman a microwave so she can heat up her frozen meals

Their job is to put out fires, but Florida firefighters on Thursday warmed things up for an elderly woman in need.

The High Springs Fire Department says firefighters were responding to a life alert alarm activation, which turned out to be a false alarm. But before leaving, the crew noticed the elderly woman’s microwave didn’t work.

That’s a big problem—because while she receives Meals on Wheels—many of the meals are frozen.

The crew wasted no time—they bought her a new microwave, installed it, and even cooked her dinner.
