WASHINGTON — Two little boys badly burned in a March house fire had their wishes come true Thursday. They met the D.C. firefighters who ran through flames and thick black smoke to save them.

The four-year-old best buddies were together on a sleepover when first responders found them unconscious on the second floor of a home on Stevens Road in Southeast D.C.

You would have to be a pretty tough guy not to have your heart in your throat watching William Brooks and Justin Hyman say thanks to the men who saved their lives. William is still recuperating at the HSC Pediatric Center in Northeast D.C. where he and Justin exchanged high fives with the men from Rescue 3, Truck 16 and Engines 15 and 25.
