GOODYEAR, Ariz. — It’s been two months since Asharie Cheatham was narrowly rescued from a burning car on Interstate 10. Now, she’s coming home.

On May 25, Cheatham — who is the daughter of Goodyear Fire Department Capt. Simeon Cheatham — got into a crash on I-10 near 91st Avenue. During the crash, her car caught fire with her still inside.

By sheer luck, Goodyear Police Officer Dakota Berry was in the middle of taking a suspect to Phoenix when he saw the crash happen.

Berry leaped into action, breaking out the window of Cheatham’s car and pulling her to safety away from the blaze.

“It’s just our job,” Berry previously told 12News. “I have no doubt that any other officer would have done the same thing… I also have to thank our department for their support and the fire department’s support as well.”

Cheatham suffered burns to roughly a third of her body. She was taken to the Valleywise Health burn center where she has spent the last few months recovering.

On Thursday, July 10, firefighters and medical professionals gathered to celebrate her as she was finally released from the hospital.

“Asharie is the daughter of our very own Captain Cheatham, and seeing her beautiful smile and resilient spirit walk out those doors meant the world to all of us,” Goodyear fire wrote on social media.

“We’re so grateful to see her recover so quickly and wish her all the strength as she continues her healing journey.”

Cheatham will be going back to the burn center for outpatient physical therapy, Valleywise Health said, but it’s clear that she won’t be facing the future alone.
