Many videos are doing the rounds on the internet. Some are cute, some are shocking, and some are just plain tear-jerking. For today’s daily dose of healthy, there’s a very cute video that’s sure to put a huge smile on your face. This heartwarming video shows how a firefighter lets the blind boy touch and feel all over his uniform and gear so he can “see” it.
The video was posted on Instagram by a page called @goodness_movement. Since it was shared a day ago, the video has garnered over 2 lakh likes and many more comments.
The video shows a little boy interacting with a firefighter.
The interaction information is embedded in the video itself. The boy is blind. It seems he and his friends got the chance to interact with some firefighters. Everyone seems to be having a great time in the background. However, since the boy apparently cannot see, the trip could have been disastrous for him. That wasn’t the case, thanks to a kind-hearted firefighter. The boy who knew what a fireman was and what they did was able to “see” a fireman as well.
In the video, the boy can be seen eagerly groping the fireman to find out what they look like. He ran his hand over his uniform and various equipment, stopping every now and then to ask what some of the tools did. The fireman was also very gentle with him and explained everything he was interested in very patiently.

While it’s obvious that firefighters have a very dangerous and time-sensitive job and are applauded by people, this gesture by this particular firefighter won hearts on the internet. Netizens praised his patience and compassion for the toddler and praised him for making the boy feel included. There are many positive comments on the video where the fireman allows the blind boy to touch him.
