Doug Hope who is a firefighter in High Springs Florida was called to duty to examine a possible fire when an elderly lady who lives by herself was using a microwave oven that alerted the Life Alert system inside her home when she was cooking a cold meal that she purchased from Meals On Wheels.
Doug when he found out what the cause of the Life Alert alarm system was due to the elderly lady having to cook her meals from an old microwave that would have the Life Alert system ring up many more alerts In the near future.
Doug decided to go to a local Lowe’s hardware store and purchase out of his own pocket a brand new microwave for the elderly lady who lives by herself. Doug returned to the home of the elderly lady and took on the task of going the extra mile to not only install the new microwave oven and cooking his customer a meal for her enjoyment.
Even though Doug has less than one year of experience working with the High Springs Fire Department, his boss Lt. Kimberly Wilson has gone on record stating that Doug is an employee who truly cares for the people that he serves in his many years of being a firefighter around the nation.
Doug is one person who does live up to his last name Hope.
They are called social justice warriors.
I can say that Doug is a man who performs his profession with his heart
That is one reason that some people pursue work either as firefighters, police officers and lifeguards. Serving their community is what makes them happy persons working on a job that they love.
if more people thought of others instead of trying to take more for themselves, the world would be a better place…
That is so true that people live on the caring for others way of life, we would be living in a happier world.
or we could live in this crappy one and try and steal from eachother
That would be a good idea.
I am tired of assholes ruining things for everyone
Maybe his last name will take him far in life, good for him!
I am sure his last name will be a light for those people who need his assistance.
As a reader, I even feel proud of Doug Hope with his concern. But will he buy a microwave for other senior citizens if anyone needs it too?
According to his past track record, Phil will likely be buying microwaves for more senior citizens out of his pocket since helping others is the main reason he joined the fire department.
Wow! He is a rare human at this age!
Firefighters like Doug like to keep a low profile while serving others.
