The dramatic rescue of people traveling in a blazing motor home has been caught on video.
Joe Riley, a friend and her teenage daughter were motoring through central Florida on their way to Michigan when the blaze happened, reports Fox10 TV.
A front tire had blown out sparking an immediate fire.
Luckily for Riley and his passengers, Ross Thompson, who runs a business called the "RV Doctor," was passing on the same route and helped rescue those trapped inside the blazing motor home.
Thompson's son captured the drama on his phone.
"I was concerned," said Thompson.
"I saw one man running around the outside so I didn't think there was anybody else there. Because it was so engulfed, I figured they were outside."
But two people were still trapped inside the RV.
"I noticed when I was yelling there was a foot sticking out the window, so I stopped," continued Thompson.
"We ran up to the back room and we rescued a mom and their daughter, and got them out, because they couldn't get out.
"They were trapped. The whole front end was engulfed, there was no way they were going through the front door."
They were also helped by another man driving an 18-wheeler who pulled over to help.
Riley said the fire started "almost within milliseconds."
To add to the tension, there was a 100-pound propane tank fixed to the bottom of the motor home.
"The fire was working its way back towards it, so I was telling people to get away from the coach for the toxic fumes and because I was concerned about the propane tank blowing," said Thompson.
"If that tank blew it would have been a lot worse."
The motor home is a total loss but no one was badly injured.
"I think God put me there in the right time at the place to help those people out," said Thompson.
