Funeral service for Capt. Mike Asiasiga Olive Tipoti photo & caption

In blue uniforms, firefighters  from the DPS Fire Bureau walk into the Congregational Christian Church of American Samoa in Amouli for a family-service yesterday morning for the late Capt. Mike Asiasiga Olive Tipoti, one of the two firefighters who died in late April this year when their fire truck hit the side of the mountain as they were heading down on the road from Afono to Aua after responding to a fire in Afono.  This was followed by the funeral service before he was laid to rest.
