POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. (WSAZ) - It may have been a chilly, gloomy day yesterday, but that didn’t stop these first responders from having a good time.

Deal Funeral Home in Point Pleasant hosted a first responders cookout in recognition of First Responders Appreciation Day.

The day was officially designated by Congress in 2017, and serves as a way for communities to show their thanks to those who protect and serve.

First responders, from fire to police to EMS, were invited to enjoy a meal free of charge.
