Why are there fire apparatus parked at the grocery store?

Because shifts are 24 hours, Lima Fire function much like a family and eat meals together every day. The City of Lima does not provide meals while on duty. Each shift collects money every morning that then are used to shop for daily meals. While at the store, firefighters are on duty and still are required to response to emergencies. They will leave food if necessary.
