MILWAUKEE -- A 14-year-old girl had an emotional reunion Wednesday.
As reported by CBS58.com, she met the Milwaukee firefighters who saved her life when she was only three.
Her name is Kiara, and the Oct. 30 meeting took place at the firehouse near 26th and Scott on the south side.
Back in 2008, she was trapped in a burning home when firefighters rescued her. It's taken 11 years, but she finally got to say thank you in person.
"Well I've always really wanted to meet them after I got adopted," said Kiara. "I've always wanted to meet them, and it just turned out that my dad met a firefighter and it all worked out."
"We're very proud of her. We are. That she has been able to process things to this point, because this was an extremely traumatic event, among other things in her life," said Kiara's mother, Paula.
Kiara says she remembers the rescue even though she was only three.
On Wednesday, she brought cupcakes that she made herself as part of her expression of gratitude.
