Excerpt:
Some Omaha firefighters went above the call of duty on Thursday. They helped a family who lost everything.
After weeks of sleeping on the floor the family of seven now has beds to sleep in and the firefighters say it’s things like this that make the job rewarding.
It was Drew Gerken’s day off from work on Thursday, but the Omaha firefighter still did some heavy lifting and took the time to serve others.
Gerken said, “When you see a problem you want to try and fix it.”
