A crew of Wisconsin firefighters is receiving praise from around the country after a photo of them shoveling a snowy driveway has gone viral, reports ABC News.
The four firefighters, all members of the Greenfield (WI) Fire Department, were photographed on Sunday removing snow off the driveway of a man they had just taken to the hospital.
The man, who was not identified, had been shoveling the snow outside his home himself after a nearly 24-hour snowstorm when he began to not feel well, Greenfield Fire Chief Jon Cohn told ABC News.
When firefighters arrived at the man’s house, they found him in a cardiac emergency and rushed him to the hospital.
“At some point at the hospital, somebody said, ‘We should go back and finish shoveling that driveway so the family has one less thing to worry about,” Cohn said.
Cohn received a photograph of two of the crew members shoveling snow from one of his Battalion chiefs.
Department officials then posted the photo on their Facebook page, where it has been liked over 20,000 times and shared nearly 2,000 times.
