This Virginia woman got a four-alarm surprise on her 100th birthday — dozens of firefighters in formation stood outside her house to present her with flowers and birthday wishes.
Jeanette Carty has a long family history with the Norfolk Fire-Rescue Department, and a class of recruits showed up to honor the years of family service.

Carty still lives in the house where she and Joe raised their children. She’s now a great-grandmother of four.
Firefighters escorted the grinning centenarian out to the reception line and presented her with a sunflower bouquet as the recruits applauded her.
