CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A fire crew who passed by a family struggling to fill up their pool on a hot day decided to help them out.
WFMY News 2 reported that Charlotte Fire Department firefighters were on their way back to the station from a medical call when they saw a family trying to fill up their kiddie pool with pots and pans for a boy’s birthday.
The firefighters stepped in to help by using their fire hose to fill up the pool.
“What was just a simple task for us turned into laughter, smiles and a lifelong memory for the neighborhood kids as well as the men on Engine 18,” the fire station said in a Facebook post.
The fire station said that the firefighters who work there have always been there for the residents they serve.
“18 has a great relationship with the community through many years on being there when needed in best of times and worst of times,” the station said.
