Can I suggest that you wait like maybe a month before you take them something. Only because they will probably be inundated with "thank yous" right now. But if you wait a month, they won't have any other thank you gifts and it will be apreciated even more. A police officer friend of mine gave me that advice after a cop here was killed. Lots of people were bringing donuts, coffee, gifts to the police station for the first couple weeks and they had so much that they would donate the stuff to other places. About a month after it happened and the gifts had stopped someone brought them donuts and coffee as a belated thank-you and that was the one that everyone at the station remembered!
However if it is a seasonal fire crew that won't be together in a month, then ignore advice above.
