Batavia firefighter/paramedic Christy Stock was about to serve the chili she had made when she and her fellow firefighters had to leave the station to assist on a medical call.

But the chili still was piping hot in a crockpot when firefighters got back from the call, which is why she likes preparing it.

“It’s an easy one,” Stock said. “There’s a little bit of prep. You go out on a call, and it’s still good.”
