Food is a necessity to anyone, but firefighters need to eat 4,400 calories per day to supplement all the calories they burn. When a fire is large enough, catering units are brought in to provide firefighters food. Firefighters are served hot breakfast, a sack lunch and hot dinners. These contracted catering units have set guidelines that ensure firefighters get enough calories to meet the daily needs.
