Firefighters banded together to deliver a heartfelt message to their colleague recovering from coronavirus in the hospital so he wouldn't feel alone.
A video was shared on Facebook by the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue of a surprise for one of its own still in the hospital recovering from COVID-19.
The firefighter, who was not named, was recuperating at Kendall Regional Medical Center and "feeling isolated from the rest of the world."
