RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — Property owners in the city of Richmond are required to clear snow off sidewalks and walkways near their homes.

That can be a lot of work for some, so the Richmond Ambulance Authority (RAA) decided to help out. 

Before returning to duty, their crew, along with firefighters, helped residents out and shoveled their walkways. 

“Clean sidewalks can help prevent people from falling and getting injured,” RAA reminded their Facebook followers Tuesday afternoon.
