00:01Your house is on fire! Your house is on fire!

00:04It's on fire!

00:05I know, my dad's calling the police.

00:07You guys gotta get out.

00:14So basically it was prom night.

00:16We ended up leaving and decided to go to our friend's house.

00:18And on the way there, we saw a huge garage just engulfed in flames.

00:23And we were just astonished at what was happening.

00:26We ended up running up to the house and making sure no one was in there.

00:30I went up to the fire and I was trying to see if there was anyone in it, like, screaming.

00:35And I made sure there was no one in there.

00:36And then as I backed up to go to the actual house to get the people out,

00:40it kind of exploded, like, right in front of me.

00:42It was, like, making all these popping noises.

00:44The garage ended up exploding multiple times.

00:46There must have been, like, propane digs in there or something.

00:49But it was insane and it was pretty scary.

00:52But I was just worrying about getting those kids out.

00:55It's okay.

00:55You guys better get out.

00:56You're okay.

00:58You're okay.

00:59You're okay.

01:00It's like fight or flight.

01:02You just have to do it.

01:04And we didn't think twice.

01:05And we're glad we were there because there was no one else really around.

01:08So we're glad we were there because we don't know if the family would have gotten help.

01:11But we're just grateful.
