Olive Garden thanked first responders on Labor Day with a special lunch.
The Italian restaurant served food at the Reno Fire Department station on Moana Lane.
This is the 16th consecutive year the restaurant has thanked first responders with a free lunch.
"It's something we like to do just to show our appreciation... every Labor Day just come out and bless the guys and girls that are here and just be there for them,” says Elizabeth Leist of Olive Garden in Reno.
They brought enough pasta to feed 20 firefighters, along with plenty of breadsticks.
All of Olive Garden's 800 restaurants nationwide participated in today's effort.
Olive Garden also served lunch at the emergency room inside Carson Tahoe Health.
