It's the little things that can make someone's day. For this boy, he's been waiting his entire life for this moment.

Firefighters and other first responders are some of the most selfless people in the world. They put their time, health and even lives on the line in order to help other people. Most times not even knowing who they are, just because they know it's the right thing to do.

Whether it's putting out a fire or responding to a car accident, firefighters know that every second matters. This time, these heroes took a moment to make a lasting memory for one kid in Central New York.
