Firefighters clean up yard of 81-year-old fall victim
An 81-year-old woman got more than emergency medical treatment from some Santa Barbara (CA) Fire Department Station 6 firefighters after a recent fall that broke her arm and badly injured her shoulder.
(Captain Kevin) Bryant says there wasn’t a clear path to her front door.
“We felt at that time, that if the walkway had not been so narrow she might not have fallen,” Bryant said.
Bryant decided the overgrown shrubs needed a trim.
While the woman was in the hospital undergoing surgery, Bryant returned to her home with fellow firefighter Tyler Smith.
“We just felt we could help this woman avoid a future fall and do a little customer service,” Bryant said.
