(FOX NEWS) – A group of firefighters turned into Santa’s Little Helpers when they rescued a family’s Christmas presents, complete with wrapping paper, and their tree after a fire broke out at their Florida home on Saturday.

Several first responders with the Polk County Fire Rescue responded to a two-story house fire in Mulberry, a city just 40 miles east of Tampa, around 4 p.m.

As they responded to the scene, they were told a 13-year-old was able to safely escape the residence, and no other humans or animals were left inside,” the fire rescue wrote in a Facebook post.

Firefighters quickly worked to put the fire out, and once it was under control, the crew of Engine 2 came up with a heartwarming idea: to save the family’s Christmas presents, because “they stood the chance of being damaged.”
