Just Desserts

KVFD Firefighters took time out of their busy schedules Friday, May 20th, to help out at the Shriners Burns Institute in Galveston, Texas.  In order to cheer the patients and residents, SBI was celebrating "Hawaiian Day" at the hospital complete with hamburgers, hot dogs, Hawaiian shirts, and the Beach Boys playing over the loudspeakers.  KVFD firefighters were asked to judge the tropical dessert bake-off.

The Shriners Hospital in Galveston is a 30-bed pediatric burn hospital providing comprehensive acute care and reconstructive and rehabilitative care to children who have been burned. There is no charge to the patient or family for any of the medical care or services provided by Shriners Hospitals. This hospital is one of 22 Shriners Hospitals throughout North America.

Pictured above are KVFD Firefighters Brian Berlin, Mike Hamlin, and Marine Captain Gerald Looper tasting and judging one of the eight entries in the dessert contest.  From Flan to Kiwi Key Lime Pie - there were a wide variety of desserts to sample.  After the judges agreed on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place desserts, the firefighters awarded medals to the winning chefs. 

Following the festivities, the firefighters were given a tour of the facility.  The firefighters were warmly received by everyone they encountered at the hospital.
