“Beautiful! Just think. They could’ve just waited until they were called to his place over a cardiac arrest or a life-threatening injury. Instead, a lawn got mowed, an old guy had company, an FD guy got some great exercise, & another had a great conversation with a 95 yr old man”, the second user commented.
The third user commented, “Thanks so much for helping a citizen in need; it means a lot in these trying times”.
The fourth user commented, “Firefighters rock! If the rest of our public servants took public service as seriously as you do the world would be a better place”.
