Our day shift ate/took all the donated meals from the local church. We showed up at 1700 assuming we'd have some sort of food... Disappointing, but we had our own small potluck.

We get into a weird variation of this where I work. The comm center has an official unit we take out on training, etc. The vehicle is equipped with an AED, BLS bag, and a water rescue throw line. It's a personal decision to respond, as we have no policy per se. The obvious differences being we...
