In some places there are limits, rules and barriers against feeding homeless people whatever fresh extra food you might have on hand. Sometimes they're to protect against poisoning and other times it's just to dissuade donations.

A place where it is ok to feed fire fighters but not homeless people. Jeez.

Hey I'm not defending that stuff. Just admitting it exists. I do have a special place in my heart for our excellent firefighters and the paramedics, who have saved my husband's life several times and are part of the (professional) fire department in my city.

Oh, I didn't think you are defending this. Was just a general outcry about how shitty some places in the world can be to people, in this case homeless.

In most places, no such rules exist, especially freshly made straight from a sandwich shop. These weren't leftovers or made in someone's kitchen. But either way, there's absolutely no reason to rag on this person for donating food to firefighters.
