Dinner Was Waiting For Moraga Firefighters Thanks To This Crew

While Moraga firefighters mounted a tremendous effort to save homes threatened by wildfire, their Oakland counterparts saved them dinner.

LAMORINDA, CA — Notice anything strange about the firefighters cooking dinner at an Orinda fire station? Yep, they're Oakland firefighters!

While Moraga-Orinda Firefighters were busy saving homes Monday from a 16 acre wildfire fire that broke out behind Campolindo High School, Oakland firefighters and their equipment covered Fire Station 45 in Orinda in case other calls for service came in.

If that's not enough, these Oakland Firefighters also prepared dinner for the Moraga-Orinda Firefighters who came off the brutally hot fire line.
