St. Petersburg firefighters delivered Christmas cheer to residents they have worked with over the year at emergencies.

On Friday, they delivered food and toys to a family who lost their home to a fire in June.

“The smoke and everything just destroyed everything,” Celena Dixon told WFLA.com. “They have been here every step of the way,” she said. “They came to my job when I didn’t have, they blessed me that I was able to get my kids more clothes and food while we was homeless.”

Dixon said that, during the recovery from the fire, she never felt alone because St. Petersburg Fire Rescue members have been there supporting her family.

“You really can’t put words into how we feel when we see that because we’re working when we show up to someone’s worst time,” Capt. Garth Swingle said. “Now we’re looking, and our emotions can kick in, and honestly, I well up when I see it.”
