Guy Fieri made a surprise visit to serve dinner to law enforcement, firefighters battling California wildfires

WATCH: California wildfires grow as 2 new blazes break out; dozens remain unaccounted for

The deadly California wildfires are still burning, and people from across the nation are working to help out in any way possible.

Wildfires have killed at least 31 people and destroyed thousands of homes across the state, a California fire official told ABC's "Good Morning America" on Monday. More than 200 people are also missing in fire zones during what is now the deadliest fire in the state’s history.

With firefighters working tirelessly to combat the blazes, celebrity chef and television star Guy Fieri decided to lend some help using his own skill set, surprising law enforcement by delivering meals to officials fighting the Camp Fire burning in Butte County.

The Butte County Sheriff's Office Twitter account tweeted a message thanking Fieri for his act of kindness.

"Thank you so much Guy for filling our bellies and lifting our spirits," a representative from the office wrote, alongside images of the television personality with law enforcement.

The Auburn Police department also shared a photo of Fieri with one of its own, Officer Joe Almeida.

"Guy is cooking pulled pork dinner for everyone this evening," the department wrote. "He had also thanked everyone that is helping out for their hard work!"
