VIDEO: A group of Oakland firefighters is being praised for not only helping a man who collapsed in front of his home – but for finishing his yardwork. The man's wife took to Nextdoor to share the story. According to her post, her husband experienced dizziness and fell on the sidewalk while working in the front yard. He had recently been undergoing cancer treatment. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the firefighters swiftly arrived at the scene to provide necessary medical care for the ailing man. And then they picked up some rakes and clippers and tended to his lawn and bushes. The wife took photos of what they did. "The firefighters exhibited extraordinary kindness and professionalism. They not only tended to my husband's medical needs but also took it upon themselves to finish the yard work," the man's wife expressed gratefully.
