3. More than 160 suburban firefighters volunteered their time and services to cover the shifts of Cleveland firefighters so they could all attend the funeral of 51-year-old Cleveland Firefighter Johnny Tetrick. According to the Lakewood Observer, this is the first time that this has ever happened. Lakewood Fire Chief Tim Dunphy spoke to the local firefighters assembled at Lakewood Fire Station #1 before heading to Cleveland. Each city donated one truck and crew to work a station.
