Footage released by police shows an officer pulling up in front of the house, kicking down a wooden fence, and running to save an 80-year-old woman, her daughter, and her four small children.

The officers can be seen using a ladder to help the family climb over the backyard fence. The video then cuts to the officers comforting the family.  

"They’re all OK, that’s all that matters," one of the officers can be heard saying.

The 80-year-old Ruby Johnson-Smith told FOX 10 Wednesday that her daughter had first alerted her to the fire.

"She ran and said, ‘Mom, get out! Fire!’ And I’m like, fire?" Johnson-Smith said.

Neighbors credited the officers’ quick instincts for saving the family.

"There’s a crown for them," Johnson-Smith said. "God is going to crown them for the help they did so much."
