The Southern California firefighters tab at Denny's: $400.
Public generosity: Priceless.
A team of firefighters from Colton got a pleasant surprise Saturday when someone paid their $405.22 food tab at a Denny's.
The 25 hungry firefighters just got off the line battling the La Cadena Fire in La Loma Hills that burned 70 acres when they grabbed a meal at a nearby Denny's.
When they went to pay for the food, they were surprised to find out that a woman had paid their tab, including $100 in desserts.
She wanted to remain anonymous, Denny's staffers told them.
Firefighters thanked the woman on the Colton Fire Department Facebook page that night.
