Hats off to Bakersfield City and Kern County Firefighters!!
The Outback Steakhouse was overrun by firefighters and restaurant employees serving up more than 200 lunches, all to benefit the new Ronald McDonald House at Memorial Hospital.
Men and women (mostly women) flooded into the central Bakersfield restaurant to plunk down $25 each for lunch, then dug deep for nearly a thousand dollars in tips.
All told, the fundraising event pulled in well over five thousand dollars.
Some firefighters were out of their element, while others showed some skills they attained before they ever picked up a hose. All in all, the customers were appreciative of the effort to benefit the families of children who are staying at the hospital.
There was one request for the next On Fire Lunch: single firefighters only, wearing muscle t-shirts and suspenders.
Ladies please, it's for the children... (plus there might be a health code issue :)
