Cornish firefighters have returned from an emergency call to a random act of kindness.
Crews from St Keverne rushed to a huge gorse fire at cliffs on the Lizard on Friday.
They were out until gone midnight, but got back to find a box of biscuits on the doorstep.
The mystery gift-giver left a thank you note saying 'stay safe'.
Sharing the news on Facebook, the team posted "a massive thank you from the crew".
"21:49 last night the crew was called out to a gorse fire on the cliffs.
"While the crews were in attendance a very kind person left us a gift of biscuits on the station doorstep with a note to say keep safe.

Sadly, it was to be the first of two gorse fires in the area over the weekend.
The second scrambled the crews from St Keverne and Helston to Predannack on Sunday evening and Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service says arson is suspected.

One major appliance and a light pumping appliance from Mullion Community Fie Station were mobilised. On arrival crews found a large area of high gorse alight being fanned by high winds. As one 999 caller request the fire service and police, we informed Devon and Cornwall Police who attended to assist with road closures.
"Crews requested an additional major appliance which was mobilised from Helston Community Fire Station as well as a further light pumping appliance which was mobilised from St Keverne Community Fire Station. A Wholetime Station Manager was also mobilised.
