That woman, Aymee Ruiz, told ABC15, "I thought I was going to burn alive in there. It was so hard just living in that kind of fear and having to depend on others to try and rescue you."
"We've got you. We've got you," said Officer Larison in that body camera video to Ruiz. It is a video she was watched more than 30 times.
"I'm thankful to be here," Ruiz said with her hands over her face. "Everybody is saying... everybody is literally telling me how lucky I am to be here."
On Thursday, just two days after the crash, Ruiz got to meet the officer and firefighter who saved her life and thank them personally.
