The firefighter proposed after leading his now fiance down a fire truck as crowds cheered

DETROIT — The latest viral video has a special spark to it, and this Clawson firefighter won’t need to put this fire out.

While riding a fire truck through crowds of people, Clawson firefighter John Sennet led his girlfriend, Alissa Berriman, off the fire truck. As cheers rang out from the spectators, Sennet got down on one knee, and pulled out a ring. More screams erupted, and Berriman said yes.

“It’s the biggest day of the year in the city, so now we have something extra special to celebrate every year,” Sennet told 7 Action News.

When asked if they had already set a date, Sennet said “within the next five years,” while Berriman said, “to be determined, not five years though!”
