Someone doesn't have much of a life if this is the focus of his daily activities. Using a fire engine or ladder to make a run to the grocery store uses a negligible amount of fuel - most of the city of Warwick is within 1-3 miles of a supermarket. And, when many of these men and women are working multiple shifts in a row, it's not always possible to plan on bringing your own food for 34 hours. These folks spend many days, nights, and in-betweens with their crew. They deserve to eat as a crew - nay, as a family - as well.

Oh, and with the required 30 minutes of CPR on scene and an extra engine company often required to show up for manpower, get used to there being even more fuel required. Maybe next year you can complain that they are going to Gregg's for dessert too often.
