What 1 Firefighter Did For a Child Involved in a Car Wreck Will Warm Your Heart

First responders are trained to react to trauma both quickly and calmly, so what one firefighter did for an injured child after he was involved in a car crash falls under the training criteria but is still completely heartwarming.

Last Saturday in D'Iberville, MS, five children were thrown from an SUV after it flipped several times on an Interstate exit ramp. Local first responders, as well as residents and witnesses, immediately went to the aid of the victims, doing anything they could to help.

Local firefighter Casey Lessard came to one of the children's rescue by lying next to him on the ground and playing the movie Happy Feet on his cell phone to distract and calm the child down while he awaited transportation to the hospital.

"The kids . . . we do whatever we can to calm them down," D'Iberville Fire Captain Darren Peterson told the Sun Herald. "The video calmed him down instantly."

The adult who was driving and all five children were sent to local hospitals, one of the kids still strapped into a child safety seat. The cause of the crash is still being investigated.

Lessard's selfless and touching act is now going viral, rightfully highlighting the bravery and compassion of first responders.
