Miami Beach Firefighter's Act Of Kindness Caught On Camera
MIAMI BEACH (CBSMiami) - Not all of the emergencies that firefighters respond to involve a fire or a disaster, sometimes it's as simple as lending a helping hand.
One Miami Beach firefighter's act of kindness was caught on camera Tuesday morning.
We spotted an elderly citizen whose wheelchair broke down in South Beach. With no power to his chair, the only option left was for Rookie Firefighter Bishop to walk him back home.

Miami Beach Fire Department posted a video on Twitter, showing Bishop, a rookie firefighter, pushing an elderly man's wheelchair through the sidewalks of South Beach, after the electric wheelchair stopped working.
Bishop continued walking with the older man until he was back home safely.
On their Twitter feed, Miami Beach Fire wrote, "Just doing our part to help our community any way we can."
