Viral: Firefighters Assist 95-Year-Old Man In Mowing His Lawn

A touching video of a squad of firefighters assisting a 95-year-old man in Texas, United States, is going viral. The generosity of the Austin firefighters has been widely praised on the internet.

Austin fire department posted a video on Twitter. It shows two firefighters in their uniforms as well as the elderly guy.

Austin Fire Department tweeted, “Our E6/C-shift crew passed this house yesterday and saw the 95YO resident struggling to mow his lawn. They stopped the unit to give him a hand; FF Rivas made quick work of the hilly front yard. Kudos to them for serving those in need, no matter what that need may be!” through its official Twitter handle.

The video has received over 43,000 views and over 1200 likes on Twitter since it was posted.

The video elicited a wide range of responses from social media users.

One user commented, “Thank you for being good neighbours!”

“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”.
