Firefighters battling deadly wildfires across Southern California were recently met with gratitude and applause at an In-N-Out Burger, where patrons gave them a standing ovation as they waited in line for meals.
The popular chain has been serving free meals to first responders, and a video of the emotional moment was captioned, “Grateful for all thee brave firefighters battling these flames. Our thoughts and prayers are with them every step of the way.”
In-N-Out shared photos on social media of firefighters receiving complimentary meals from its locations and cookout trucks in areas affected by the fires.
The chain expressed its appreciation for the first responders, writing, "Words cannot express our gratitude for the fearless firefighters who continue to risk their lives to save the communities we’ve been part of for so long."
Other local businesses, including Spago in Beverly Hills, owned by celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck, and The Abbey in West Hollywood, have also offered free meals to first responders throughout the crisis.
In-N-Out’s heartfelt message extended gratitude to the firefighters for their sacrifices, stating that they hope the meals provided a moment of comfort amid the ongoing crisis.
The company says they’re committed to supporting the communities they’ve been part of for so long, and praised both the first responders and their associates for coming together during this difficult time.
