When firefighters are on the firelines for days at a time, do they get to eat?

Firefighters do indeed eat while working on a fire. During the initial stages of a major fire, firefighters rely on the rations they carry on the fire engine. Once the logistical section for the incident begins operation, the food unit makes sure food is produced and available for the firefighters. Tyipically, a mobile kitchen is brought to the incident base to prepare and serve breakfast and dinner. Meals must contain at least 2000 calories. 

Sack lunches are produced by vendors and are delivered to the firefighters or are picked up from the incident base. The photos show a typical sack lunch: Two drinks, two sandwiches, fruit, chips, cookies, cereal bar, candy, gum, and a condiment pack.
