When an 88-year-old man was sent to the hospital with a broken hip, the firefighters who responded to the emergency call returned to his house to finish his yard work.

Howard Storelee from Rochester, Washington has been diligently keeping his yard and property tidy since his wife passed away five years ago.

When the hardy senior was mowing his lawn last week, however, he fell and broke his hip. Since he also injured himself in a more isolated part of his yard, no one could see him on the ground.

For four hours, Storelee was unable to move. Thankfully, a trio of middle schoolers who were walking in front of his house heard his cries for help and called 911.

Three responders from the West Thurston Regional Fire Authority arrived on the scene and whisked Storelee off to the hospital before spending the rest of their day addressing other community emergencies. Upon finishing with their duties in the evening, they all agreed to go back to Storelee's house and finish all of his yard work.

"There was no hesitation from anybody," longtime firefighter EMT Alexander Trautman told The Washington Post. "We talked to our lieutenant and captain, and they were 100 percent behind it."

"We knew he'd be down for a while," he added. "We figured the least we could do was go back and help out."
