HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — Firefighters were given a helping hand last week when an anonymous Good Samaritan paid for their groceries.

Hillsborough County firefighters were waiting in the checkout line with their groceries when they received a call and had to leave.

Upon returning to the grocery store to pay for their items, an anonymous individual had already paid for them. The Good Samaritan left a note, which read, “Thank you for your service.”

Hillsborough County Fire Rescue posted a response to the act of kindness on their Facebook page, stating, “We are honored to serve the citizens of Hillsborough County everyday, but we are thankful for these unexpected moments from the citizens we serve.”
