"First you hear the children, and you see the children — and you know you've gotta do what it takes to get those children out — so we immediately sprung into action and started directing the kids out of the window," she said on Friday.

The building was in flames when they arrived.

The fire had engulfed the staircase and front door of the apartment upstairs. 

The officers said they knew there was only one way out: the window.

Officer Wimpee, a father himself, said he went into "dad mode" during the rescue.

He began talking to the children in the burning building the same way he would talk to his own kids.

"It was something that motivated not only me, but everyone else on the scene — [those who] were also fathers and have family members who were that age — to really just continue what we were doing," he said on Friday morning.

As Fox News Digital previously reported, Officers Josh Nolan and Kyle Potter both experienced firefighters, fought the fire until more firefighters arrived at the scene. 

The officers were able to safely get all five children and the adult out the second-floor window before any of them were seriously harmed.
