How come I see firefighters shopping at the grocery store?

Trophy Club Firefighters work a 48/96-hour shift schedule, which means that they arrive to work the morning of their shift and live at the fire station for the next two days. While on duty, the shift crew will all contribute money to purchase groceries to make the meals for their two-day shift. Firefighters are responsible for paying for their own meals.
