Feeding Firefighters

Two La Jolla firefighters, enjoying an Alphonso Mango and a Blood Orange sample

The West Coast Bella Girls have identified another pattern that we’d like to share with you, involving the brave men and women who serve in fire departments in towns up and down the California coast.

We’ve had the honor to serve 4 or 5 different groups of firefighters so far on this tour, and each time, they’ve been some of our favorite customers of the day!

Today’s firefighters fit into our pattern perfectly.  First one or maybe two members of the crew show up for a sample.  They walk off with their samples, and then, later, maybe 2 minutes, maybe 10, the rest of the crew arrives for their treat!  One day, a truck left with only the driver as the solo sampler…but they drove right back about 5 minutes later and the whole gang piled out.  For being willing to bring his buds back when they realized what they were missing, we gave him a second flavor!

Sometimes the firefighters have the time to eat their samples standing outside their truck.  Today’s fellows enjoyed their cool treats inside their truck, but were kind enough to let me snap their pic before heading out on a call.

It’s a really great feeling to do something nice for the men and women who work so hard to keep us all safe!
