“I asked my friend Kim Oakley to come help me and she gracefully did,” McPhie said.
“Once I got the snow blower working again, I turned on my music and put my head down and got to it.”
After about an hour’s work, McPhie said, “I looked up and saw 10 or so volunteer firefighters!
“I kept working with tears in my eyes,” he said. “What a great crew to show up and help.
“Such an amazing story!”
