AUSTIN, Texas — When an Austin Fire Department crew showed up to help a South Austin resident who had taken a fall in the yard on Sunday, they didn’t stop at first aid. They finished the yard work, too.
The Station 29 A-shift crew, consisting of Lieutenant Trevor Copus, Fire Specialist Cody Crawford, and Firefighters Kevin Hajdik and Angel Cisneros, responded to the call for help. It happened at a South Austin residence just before 7 p.m. Sunday, according to the Austin Fire Department.

The crew provided care to a resident who had fallen while working in the yard. Afterward, firefighters stayed to finish mowing the lawn and clear away debris, the department said.
“Caring for our community, in any form, is a privilege,” the department said.
An Austin Fire Department spokesperson said the adult patient was transported by Austin-Travis County EMS following the call.
