The officers who were caught in a Hurst home explosion are talking about what happened for the first time.
Two officers were responding to the crash when the home exploded. The entire chain of events was caught on camera.
"It happened so quick, and so fluid, and so fast," said Corporal Ryan Tooker. "It was more of just react, it was more of life-saving, than it was train on tactics or things of that nature."
Officer Travis Hiser says things could have been much worse for first responders.
"There was definitely some divine intervention that was reaching down and slowing those vehicles down from making scene and then taking a finger and pushing me away from the house and the path that I went. Otherwise, I would have been up on the wall and it would have exploded completely into my face," said Hiser.
