Firefighters in Yantic made a little girl’s dream come true when they brought her to school in a fire engine Tuesday for her first day back after brain cancer caused her to miss a full year of school.

Yantic Fire Engine Company #1 shared the story on Facebook.  They wrote that Meghana has always dreamed of arriving at school on a fire truck.

Tuesday was her first day back after missing a full school year because of brain cancer and Engine 31 brought her to school. Her father rode in the engine with her for the journey.

“Congratulations to wonderful young girl!,” the fire department posted.
