BALTIMORE, MD – APRIL 28: A firefighter motions to a fireman spraying water from a firetruck to extinguish the smoldering remains of a senior center set ablaze during night riots on April 28, 2015 in Baltimore, Maryland. A state of emergency has been declared in Baltimore following violent protests which erupted after the funeral service for Freddie Gray. Gray, 25, was arrested for possessing a switch blade knife on April 12 outside the Gilmor Homes housing project on Baltimore’s west side and according to his attorney died a week later in the hospital from a severe spinal cord injury he received while in police custody.

Their job is to put out fires, but Florida firefighters 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. According to News Channel 8.

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

Not only did they buy her a new microwave, the firefighters installed it, and even cooked her dinner.
