In recent days, Fuzhou city in East China's Jiangxi Province, experienced prolonged high temperatures that posed a threat to the well-being of more than 30,000 chickens on a poultry farm. Concerned about their welfare, the farm owner made an urgent call for help by contacting local firefighters. However, an unexpected and heart-warming response ensued, according to a report from China Fire and Rescue.

As if understanding their human friend's arrival, the little feathered creatures opened their beaks and let out desperate cries for assistance. It was as if they were pleading for help. In a fortunate turn of events, their plea was answered promptly.

Recognizing the severity of the situation, firefighters wasted no time and brought the chickens a much-needed relief in the form of "timely rain."

The sudden downpour not only cooled the scorching environment but also provided immediate respite for the heat-stricken chickens. The life-giving raindrops fell upon their feathers, rejuvenating them and alleviating their suffering. The farm owner expressed deep gratitude for local firefighter's swift response.
