Los Banos, Calif.
A firefighter recently went above and beyond for a family in California.
Los Banos firefighter Cpt. Thompson helped make breakfast for some children while their mother was receiving medical attention.
According to the fire department, the children’s mother had to be taken to the hospital, but Engine 1′s crew stayed with them until another family member could arrive.
While waiting, Thompson helped get the kids ready for school, including making them cinnamon-sugar toast with orange juice.
The mother thanked the firefighters for their help on the department’s social media page.
“You guys are amazing and I thank you so much for taking care of my babies in one of the scariest days of my life! They told me all about it when I got home and my heart was filled with so much gratefulness,” Karen Mendoza Silva wrote.
