An injured Fort Worth firefighter and his son have been reunited.

While Firefighter Caleb Halvorson was hospitalized recovering from injuries suffered at a fire, he was focused on one thing -- Hudson.

Born 13 weeks premature at one pound, nine ounces, Hudson was in the NICU. He now holds two records -- the smallest birth weight and the longest stay, CBS reported.

The two fighters are now home.
