The crew self-assigned to a public safety assist when they encounter a stranded motorist. The driver was a young female that was pulled into a driveway in a secluded area off Parmer lane. The driver stated she ran out of gas and was not from the Austin area. The crew attempted to assist by calling for the TXDOT hero service only to find out that her vehicle was not in their service area. The crew took her gas can and purchased gas for the driver. The driver was then able to move from that location with the help provided by the crew. This crew demonstrated the level of service and dedication for the wellbeing of the public that our department was built upon. Despite an incredibly busy shift, this crew recognized the driver to be in distress and exposed to the elements in an unsafe area. They acted in such a manner that is both admirable and rises to the level of dedicated service that we should be proud of. I would expect nothing less from this crew.

Thank you for making ATCEMS a better place.
