Anonymous resident pays for firefighters' groceries

Vandalia firefighters who had to leave Kroger for a medical call came back to the store to find someone had paid for their groceries.

According to a post on the Vandalia Division of Fire Facebook page, second platoon firefighters were finishing their daily grocery shopping Sunday morning when they had to leave to respond to a medical emergency call. When they returned, they were told by management that a citizen had paid for their groceries in appreciation for what they do for the community.
