A metro Detroit firefighter was caught on video cutting the grass of a man he and other emergency personnel had just saved.

A neighbor said she had just gotten home from grocery shopping and saw the man lying on the ground next to his lawnmower.

Neighbors were giving him CPR and then Fire and EMS showed up and continued CPR. They loaded him into the ambulance and took off for the hospital.

The firefighter, identified as Chris Hudson, stayed back and finished cutting the grass.

"It's just what I do. My dad always raised me to help out somebody in need. Obviously this family was in a desperate time of need," he said. "It's just cutting the grass, it's nothing big. Took me 10-15 minutes to do it, got back in the truck and left."
