Tri-Township Firefighter Alex White stands at the stove, stirring cream cheese and half-and-half into a pot of White Chicken Chili.
“It just has to come to a boil so it thickens up a little,” White said.
While the soup heats, White puts together grilled cheese sandwiches to serve alongside for lunch for fellow firefighters Casey Otten, Tylor Lampkins and Curt Felker.
Crew members share the cooking duties, with one handling breakfast, another lunch and a third supper.
“We’ll try to talk to each other, get some sort of plan before we come in for our shifts, and we typically shop on our own and bring stuff in,” White said. “We like to try to cook all of our meals, but it doesn’t always work out that way.”
