Greg Work and his brother Gene were laying sod outside Greg’s Florida home when Greg suffered a heart attack. The Pasco County fire department came to his rescue. Greg and his wife Melissa were rushed to the hospital. Gene stayed behind to try and lay the remaining sod before the summer heat killed it. He was prepared to work through the night. Before long, though, the fire truck and ambulance came back. Seven firefighters and EMTs jumped out, put on gloves and helped Gene finish the job. “They didn’t know our HOA was going to fine us,” said Melissa. “They didn't know my husband pawned his favorite gun to pay for sod he thought was going to die. They simply saw someone in need and did this for us. They saved Greg’s life, and then cared enough to save our grass!”
