This story deserved to be on the news and deserves to be shown at the start of each shift and a the place where they test new recruits. Where I come from almost every fire station has a story of a kid who came and never left. You can talk about anything you want but this story is what makes the fire SERVICE great and makes America a great place to live.
I grew up in Lansing and have passed that same station many times as a kid.......little did I know that this was going on there
These are men with true compassion!
well done good and faithful servants !
Beautiful story of family. I'm pretty sure he had a big send-off from all his family members as he looked down from heaven. You folks aren't just heroes--- you're knights in shiny armor. Thank you for sharing your "home" with him.
Well that just restored my faith in humanity a little bit. These Firemen are model citizens. True character.
What a sweetie! And what special guys helping him!!
Yesssss I’m the only one watching this in 2020! And I hope hes doing all right
i have watched this early last year but since it depicts brotherhood at its best, it deserved to be watched several times.
If you hit dislike, you are wrong. THIS is Lansing's bravest going the extra mile here. They should be commended for a job well done for this.
The people who dislike have no heart at all.
I dont live in Lansing but not to far from there in Howell. Thank you guys for what you do. Thanks
This is why Firefighters rule.
Awesome! I'm from Lansing, but I never heard about this being filmed nor have I seen the segment until now. What a great service of the Lansing Fire Dept.
Firefighters are wonderful people. I should know, my big brother Bobby was the fire chief in Stamford Ct for many years and I'm sure he did a lot of amazing kind things for many people. What a beautiful story.
Kindness is a fire no one can put out. These are truly men of service.
Well done, Brothers, well done!
Great story, should be shared with anyone on the job or thinking about coming on the job. Feel more sorry for the 6 SOB's who "disliked" this video. Must not have much of a life other than trolling.
Pride, Honor and Integrity.
Thanks for sharing
A very LUCKY group of firefighters to call Tony as family!!!
I was sad to read that Tony passed away in 2020.
Rest In Peace, Tony.
When did Tony pass away? That is one great fire department to have taken him in all these years.
Tony died today 7/31/2020. He passed quietly in his sleep.
Thanks for the Post
I'm glad he didn't suffer and passed away peacefully in his sleep. Thanks for letting us know.
Firefighters are just cool. 😊💯
From a fellow michigan firefighter. Thanks guys. You are truly a great group of guys, and this is what it is all about. God Bless You All.
Yep, i'm in the same position and love it! I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world!
For anyone that would like an update Tony died on July 31st of last year
Brotherhood!
Anthony “Tony” Tumminello: Born on March 12, 1940. Died on July 31, 2020.
I like to think that a special group of guys like these men, were there with my grandpa in New York. He lived just above them.
Rip Tony I hope you have another firehouse in heaven
God Bless our Brothers there is a special place for them.Thats what its all about.
What a blessing these men are! They are fulfilling scripture which says “Whatsoever you have done to the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me.” (Matt. 25:40) It’s too bad we can’t all treat each other like that! During this time of corona virus I hear over and over “we’re in this together.” That is almost a hypocritical statement. We’re all in this together as long as the virus is on us. We go out of our way to treat the elderly with extra care: picking up their groceries, picking up prescriptions, doing little errands. We’re solicitous of our police officers and afford them extra respect. The same way with fire fighters and paramedics. We treat medical personnel like the frontline soldiers they are. I could probably think of a dozen more helps. We have even cast aside our prejudices. All because “We’re in this together!!” But what happens when the virus is gone? Will we still treat the elderly with respect? Remembering that they didn’t ask to be old and infirm? They didn’t ask to have shaking hands, be slow of steps and spilling their food. If you asked them I’m sure they would tell you it wouldn’t be their first choice of how to live. Will we still treat our brothers and sisters of different ethnic backgrounds with decency and honor? We claim to be the greatest nation but a nation is only as great as it’s people and the conduct of American people leaves much to be desired! No I’m afraid we are not “all in this together”. Because until we can translate our behavior now over into every day life we will never be “all in this together”.
Why why can't we have these people run our governments, federal and state?
Oohh Rah Station 1 - Lansing FD
Blood doesn't make you family love does and station 1 loves Tony
R.I.P. Just heard he passed away today.
RIP, Station no. 1 will have an empty space in it now.
AWESOME!
Who ever gave this video a thumb down. Doesn't have heart. Probably never been a Firefighter either.
I am giving the one dislike the benefit of the doubt that they meant to hit like and accidentally hit dislike on the way over cause no one is that much of a jerk...
This is for the two thumbs down people so the guy that is described in the story is not a firefighter so what OK but we should still respect our firefighters anyway for example we Lost 343 firefighters on 9/11 to me that's the most firefighters we have lost in a terrible tragedy I definitely respect our firefighters and if I had the Courage to do it which I Kinda do I'd be one of them
