In a picture posted to social media, the Pittsburgh Bureau of Fire Engine 17 Firehouse in Homewood was spotted helping a child who needed their bike fixed.

"I was driving past 17 Engine Firehouse in Homewood and saw these two firemen fixing this child's bike," said Shawaun Bottoms-Morgan in a Facebook post. "When I tell you the child was smiling - from ear-to-ear."
