When a Jacksonville Fire Rescue crew responded to a call last week, they found that a surprising guest was already on scene.
Upon arrival, Engine 36 B-Shift was met with Jacksonville Jaguars star and 2024 Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter, according to a July 29 Facebook post shared by the agency.
"Our crews never know what the next call will bring," the caption read. "Last week, Engine 36 B-Shift responded to a call and found Sheriff T.K. Waters, members of JSO, and Jaguars star Travis Hunter already on scene."
The agency shared a photo of the encounter in the post, with Hunter smiling wide and sporting a police vest. "After the incident was under control, the crew had a chance to welcome Sheriff Waters and Travis to their territory and snap
a quick photo."
