VIDEO: It was quite a surprise for young patients at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta on Friday. When they looked out their windows, they saw firefighters waving at them.
Sandy Springs firefighters came up with the plan. Rappel off the top of the hospital and spread a little joy on their way down. As they lowered themselves, they stopped and waved to patients on the other side of the glass. "Not many kids get to see a fireman hanging outside their window," said Sandy Springs Fire Lt. Jason Anderson.
"It was a wow. If I was the firefighter, it would be scary. I'm really afraid of heights, so that would not be the job for me," said 10-year-old Nick.
Firefighters say they just wanted to bring a smile to the faces of the children, like 3-year-old Austin.
