The Fernandina Beach Fire Department has had a delicious problem recently, according to their latest social media update. In a light-hearted post, the department has pointed a playful finger at a local bakery, Thirteen Bakery, for causing potential waistline expansions among its ranks. "If you notice our firefighters moving up a pants size, we’re blaming Thirteen Bakery," the post begins, highlighting the sweet dilemma of resisting delectable treats from the beloved gluten-free establishment.
The appreciation for Thirteen Bakery and its proprietor, Ms. Tina, is clear in the tone of the firefighters' message. They commend her consistent support for the department and first responders, notably when she brings by extra goodies after her day's end. The Fernandina Beach Fire Department expressed their thanks, stating, "We are incredibly grateful for our local businesses like Thirteen Bakery that pour back into the community the way they do." They also encourage anyone who hasn't given the bakery a visit to do so, suggesting they are missing out on something special.
With community at its heart, Thirteen Bakery represents the kind of local business that fosters bonds beyond mere commercial transactions. Through acts of kindness, such as regularly supplying treats to those who serve the city, the bakery contributes to a sense of gratitude and camaraderie that extends far beyond the goodies' sugar content.
The Fernandina Beach Fire Department's shoutout is not only an acknowledgment of the bakery's tempting treats but also a nod to the larger web of support and affection that knits a community together. As the post concludes, "Thank you for keeping us fueled (and maybe just a little fluffier) while we serve our city," according to the Fernandina Beach Fire Department's Facebook page.
