After taking man to hospital, firefighters finish patients yard work

CORONA, Calif. After a California fire crew treated a man who collapsed while mowing his lawn, firefighters sent him to the hospital. But then they finished the yard work themselves on Wednesday morning.

The sweet story was posted to the Corona Fire Departments Facebook page with a photo of two crew members sweeping up grass clippings on a residential sidewalk.

Serving our City with Pride, the Facebook post read.

KTLA reports that the crew from Engine 1 was responding to a call about a resident who lost consciousness while mowing his lawn, according to the post. First responders provided ALS treatment and sent the male patient to the hospital in an ambulance, the post stated, apparently referring to advanced life support service.

Firefighters stayed while the mans wife and baby prepared to go to the hospital, cleaning up and putting away the lawn mower, Fire Departments spokeswoman Lynn Mata said.

Local Corona resident loses consciousness while mowing his lawn.

We do that a lot. We look after our community its pretty tightly knit, Mata said.

The patient lost consciousness for unknown reasons then fell, injuring his nose and bloodying himself in the process, Mata said. He was treated and transported but was in pretty good shape after the 11 a.m. emergency response, she said.

The incident followed a similar heart-warming in Santa Barbara over the weekend.

In that incident, firefighters trimmed an elderly womans vegetation after she was injured by tripping over shrubbery.
