Helmet camera and on-scene video captured Texas firefighters rescuing a father and daughter from a burning house late Wednesday.

The fire had started in the garage of a home in Katy shortly before 11 p.m., KTRK-TV reports. A couple in their 60s were at home with their adult daughter when the fire broke out.

The husband helped his wife, who uses a wheelchair, escape the fire. He then went back inside to try to rescue his daughter.

Once Cy-Fair firefighters arrived at the scene, they pulled the father and daughter from the burning house and began performing CPR on them. The firefighters were able to resuscitate the two, and they were taken to the hospital in critical condition, according to KTRK.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
