Tampa St. Petersburg, FL, September 7, 2026 — A Lakeland resident has launched a community initiative to express gratitude for the service of Polk County firefighters. Crystal Mongeau started the ‘Flour & Fire’ project, through which she bakes and personally delivers homemade treats to fire stations across the county. The project aims to show appreciation for the work performed by local fire departments.
The initiative began with Mongeau’s personal efforts to provide baked goods as a gesture of thanks. Over time, the ‘Flour & Fire’ project has seen an expansion in its scope and reach. As the project grows, Mongeau is now seeking support from the community to sustain its operations.
Mongeau is looking for donations to assist in covering the expenses associated with the project. These costs primarily include the purchase of ingredients for baking and funds for travel to deliver the treats to various fire stations within Polk County. Details regarding specific donation amounts or a timeline for the project’s expansion were not provided.
