When temperatures reach almost 100 degrees in the summer, people will do absolutely anything to cool off.

On a sweltering hot day earlier this month, a group of children in Charlotte, North Carolina were desperately trying to fill up a tiny kiddie pool in their front lawn for a little boy’s birthday party. The kids did not have a hose, so they made a sloppy assembly line to and from the kitchen, using pots and pans to transport water from the sink to the pool.

This tedious strategy was taking a lot of time, and it wasn’t working out so well for them until some firefighters pulled over to help!

Charlotte Fire Station’s Engine 18 had just left a medical call when they spotted the children trying to fill the pool. Realizing that they had the power to fix this problem, the firefighters pulled over and immediately stepped in to offer their services.

Much to the delight of the children, the firefighters grabbed their hose and filled the pool up in seconds! They even stuck around afterwards to give the kids a much needed cold shower.

Charlotte Fire Station later shared photos of what went down, and they have since gone viral.

“Firehouse 18 is a neighborhood firehouse full of men and woman who truly care about the families they swore to protect,” they captioned the photos. “Today, after leaving a medical call, Engine 18 stumbled across a family desperately trying to fill up a kiddy pool by filling pots from the sink for a little boys birthday on this sweltering day. What was just a simple task for us turned into laughter, smiles, and a life long memory for the neighborhood kids as well as the men on Engine 18. Proud to serve the WESTSIDE!”

God bless these firefighters for taking the time to help some children in need! SHARE this story so your friends and family can see this as well!
