EMT finishes mowing elderly man's lawn after coming to his rescue, NBD
True heroes are great multi-taskers: they stop bad guys, save good ones and mow people's lawns.
This Saturday, an 87-year-old Sacramento man passed out from exertion while mowing his front lawn. Paramedics were then called to assist the man, who initially refused to go to the hospital. But instead of leaving him there, EMTs simply packed away their gurney, and did the unthinkable: they mowed his lawn.

It takes kindness to come to a man's rescue, but -- if you've ever mowed a lawn before -- you know that mowing is an otherworldly sacrifice. Not only do you have to lean over and stretch your poor aching back, but you're forced to breathe in odiferous fumes and sweat through your very favorite T-shirt. It's just no way to live.
"One of the EMTs put the gurney away and the other finished mowing the lawn," Ken Densley, the man's son, said. "He finished and even put the mower away."

The man was later taken to the hospital and is reportedly "doing great."
Of course he's doing great. Some beautiful EMT not only took him to the hospital, he mowed his lawn and even put the mower away for him.
He's not just a hero, he's a tidy hero. The rarest and finest of breeds.
