These temperatures over the last month have been driving just about everyone crazy with the heat.
The elderly are people that we might tend to forget will struggle to adapt to this intense weather.
So when a 90-year-old collapsed while working in his yard due to the heat, he was blessed that there was a firefighter nearby to save the day.

Other firemen helped the man inside while Rance worked outside.
Speaking to CBS FW, Rance said,''if you see someone in need or if they need help if they’re having a bad day, just try to be a bright spot on someone’s day.''
''It doesn't’t take much effort. I think just the effort alone… makes all the difference in the world.''
