A grandma who had joked that she would have liked some "eye candy" for her 92nd birthday got quite a surprise when a group of local firemen showed up at her house. Just days before Berna Dean Pierce's big day, the 92-year-old had accidentally triggered her life alert, causing the local Wichita Fire Department to come rushing to her door, only to discover Berna Dean was completely fine. That incident, on July 20, led Berna Dean to profess to family members how big and strong the firefighters had looked, joking that she hadn't gotten a chance to look at the firefighters' faces because she was so focused on their muscles. And so, for her birthday party two days later, Berna Dean’s family decided to try and include their local fire department in the big surprise.

00:09 she accidentally pressed her life alert button,
00:12 so the fire department came to check on her.
00:15 She talked about it for hours afterwards
00:17 and said it was the most exciting day she had
00:20 in a really long time.
00:22 So for her birthday.
00:24 Happy birthday, I love you.
00:26 - 92.
00:27 - Oh man, I never dreamed.
00:29 Her loved ones had a special surprise in store for her.
00:34 - I got you some visitors.
00:35 Since you didn't see their faces last time.
00:41 (laughing)
00:44 Since you didn't see their faces last time,
00:46 you only saw their nice bodies,
00:48 I thought you'd like to see their faces today.
00:50 - How are you?

01:08 - She told us it was a surprise of her life
01:11 and could even go all day without eating
01:13 after that much excitement.
01:16 - I wonder what the neighbors thought.
01:17 - I know.
01:18 Well, they didn't come up with any lights on,
01:20 so they knew it wasn't too serious, but.
01:22 - I bet they wondered seeing that many people
01:26 in the fire department.
01:27 - I know.
01:28 I bet they wondered why they came in fully dressed
01:30 and left unclothed.
01:32 No, I'm kidding.
01:33 - They hate her for it.
