Police body camera footage shows a Texas police officer rescuing a family from a burning home.
The Seagoville Police Department released the footage on Aug. 27, showing officer Sam Click patrolling the area before finding the garage door of a duplex on fire.
Click then entered the home. “The fire department, they were minutes away and I don’t think we had minutes,” he said, according to the NBC affiliate.
Neighbors were also credited with helping rescue the father and children.
When Click arrived on the scene, a neighbor, identified as Shelby Hood, was screaming for people to wake up. “I see like a flash of light, I pulled the blinds down and I freaked, I lost it,” Hood said. “By the time I got here, the heat was so hot and the flames were so loud I couldn’t hear myself screaming.”
Hood said that she was able to wake up Jeremy Giblaint, who lived in a unit attached to the building, and he knew that his brother-in-law and six nephews were inside, NBC DFW reported.
“He went way above and way beyond,” Seagoville Police Chief Ray Caverly said. “His actions, man it’s just amazing.”
