What happens when an employee working at a gas station alone has to go to the hospital? In one Michigan town, first responders cover him until a replacement could be found.
"All calls are different, you never know what you’re going to get into. But no, we've never run the cash registers before," explained Andy Vanderziel with the Alto-Bowne Township Fire Department.
It was an unusual sight at the Mobil Station last week when, just after midnight, a crew of Alto-Bowne Township firemen are seen on surveillance video serving customers.
"They even pre-paid gas pumps," said manager Julie Morrow.
Trained in fighting house fires and life-and-death rescue, but prepared for anything.
"Luckily it was a pretty user-friendly system, we got it figured out pretty quickly," explained Vanderziel.
