No job is too big or small for a firefighter. These brave men and women rush into homes ablaze on a regular basis to save those in need.
And even when the job isn’t battling a blazing inferno, firefighters are constantly doing small heroic acts of kindness that make a big impact lots of folks’ lives — like the firefighter unit who saved a beloved parrot from a house fire.
But in this touching story, a firefighting squad in Spring Hill, FL recently did something I've never heard of before: yard work. It might not seem like a feat as stunning as battling a raging fire, but when I heard the story behind it, I was deeply moved.
Now, the photos of these incredible firefighters and their kind deed are going viral — and it's no wonder why!

Ralph McCrory, a 65-year-old living in Spring Hill, FL, was mowing his lawn one day when he gave his wife quite the shock.
“All of a sudden he came in and yelled, ‘I think I just had a heart attack,' ” his wife, Dorothy, told ABC News. Hernando County Fire Rescue was immediately called to the scene, and Ralph was saved.
Yet, once first responders helped to save Ralph’s life, there was still one more job to be done: mowing the rest of his lawn.
While Ralph recovered in the hospital, the team happily finished up the job back at home.
“Our folks have stopped many times and helped people change a tire on an automobile that had a flat,” Kevin Carroll, Hernando County Fire Rescue asst. chief told ABC. “This is not unusual for us."
"But we’re very appreciative to the gentleman who actually took the photographs, that he took the time and made the effort to actually recognize these folks,” he continued.
