GOODYEAR, Ariz. — Shortly after hundreds gathered to celebrate the life of Goodyear firefighter Austin Peck, who lost his battle with job-related cancer, Glendale firefighters were seen helping a stranded driver.
Saturday was a day of sadness and mourning as family, friends and area firefighters honored the memory of Austin Peck.
And a simple act of kindness helped ease some of that hurt.
A crew with the Glendale Fire Department were still in their "class A uniforms and fancy shoes" when they pushed a van out of an intersection, according to a Glendale Fire Facebook post.
"The crew found a woman and disabled young man in the car with no air conditioning and no gas," the post said.
The crew pushed the van and its occupants to a nearby gas station. The woman was able to get gas and they were back on the road in no time.
"A little human kindness on a day full of sadness. RIP Austin. Stay safe," the post said.
