Citizen Who Received Help Sends Delivery Food to Fire Station
"I Couldn't Say Thank You... Please Hang Up Quickly"
A touching story has been shared about a citizen who, in gratitude for help received from firefighters, delivered five whole chickens to the fire station.
On the 23rd, a post titled "Whole chickens were delivered to the fire station in the evening" was uploaded to an online community. The author of the post, A, who is a firefighter, said, "Around evening, a delivery motorcycle entered the fire station parking lot, and the delivery person placed several plastic bags containing whole chickens on the office table and tried to leave without saying a word."
At that time, no one at the fire station had ordered any whole chicken. When A called the delivery person back, the delivery person only said, "Enjoy your meal," and left.
A said, "While wondering who had ordered the whole chickens, I recalled an earlier highway dispatch during the day," adding, "There was a sudden report that a father, who was being taken home from a nursing home, was having difficulty breathing."
After dispatching, A and others found a black Maybach stopped at a highway rest area. The patient was struggling to breathe in the back seat of the vehicle. The firefighters quickly loaded the patient into an ambulance and transported him to the hospital. At that time, the patient's guardian suddenly asked if they liked whole chicken.
A said, "There was no other way to explain the feast of whole chickens in front of me," adding, "When I called the guardian and identified myself as the dispatched firefighter, they immediately asked, 'Did you arrive safely?' They said 'Thank you' and then abruptly ended the call."
A continued, "I thought about calling back to express my thanks, but it seemed they hurriedly ended the call because they didn’t want to hear this story, so I stopped," adding, "Later that night, there was a fire at a junkyard near the fire station, but since we had eaten well, we managed the overnight work without difficulty."
Netizens who read the story responded with comments such as, "I hope only good things happen to the person who bought the whole chickens and to all the firefighters," "This is heartwarming news," and "I hope society becomes kinder to firefighters."
