Each of the fireflies lights ITS light.
("Each " is a singular pronoun) p.I5
I saw a firefly THAT was brighter than any other. p.6
(For people, either who or that is fine. For animals, use that unless you use the animal's name, in which case you may use who).
It was my brother with MOM and DAD'S flashlight. p.42
( If two people jointly own one item, treat them as one unit and put the apostrophe on the last person in the pair.
Cheers!

2nd and 3rd sentences are correct. The first one should be "its" since "each" (which is singular) is the subject of the sentence. "Fireflies" is plural but it is contained in the adjectival phrase "of the fireflies".
