A group of firefighters with the Orange County Fire Authority were caught on camera finishing a patient's yard work after the 93-year-old man fell while mowing his lawn and was sent to the hospital.


Lori Hallett, the homeowner's daughter, said Wednesday her father insists on staying busy.


"Really, it's important to him. He said, 'It makes me feel alive,'" Hallett said.

It's what happened after the patient, Robert Hallett, was transported to the hospital that had neighbors tearing up. One of those neighbors was Steel Morris.

"I had to get my camera out because it was just so touching to see," Morris said.

Morris caught the OCFA crew finishing what their patient started.

The homeowner returned from the hospital a few hours later. His daughter said he got a chuckle out of the whole thing, and is now letting others help him out with his yard work.
