Firefighters Go the Extra Mile and Save the Day Twice

Firefighters from the Fernandina Beach Fire Department recently responded to a bicycle accident involving a young boy whose foot was trapped between the spokes and frame of his bike.

“This reminds us of what it truly means to care for our community,” the fire department shared. The act of kindness not only uplifted the boy and his family but also served as a reminder of the dedication and compassion of first responders.
