After first responders in Spring Hill, Florida, were called to the home of 65-year-old Ralph McCrory, they surprised everyone by going above and beyond the call of duty. According to ABC News, McCrory had been mowing his yard in high heat when he began to feel like he was having a heart attack. The Hernando County EMTs and fire crews responded to his wife's emergency call.
The EMT crew discovered that the man had a heart condition and it would take him four days to mow his yard. Upon hearing this, the firefighters stayed behind while the EMTs took McCrory to the hospital.
"The firefighters told his wife that they'd like to help out and asked where the lawnmower was," Hernando County Fire Rescue Assistant Chief Kevin Carroll told ABC News. "They stayed and it took about 30 minutes to cut the grass, which was about two-feet high."
ABC News also reported that a neighbor took a picture of the firefighters' kind act and that photograph has now gone viral. The fire crew told ABC Action News that they never intended to get recognition for their good deed. In their minds, it was all part of serving their community.
