WATCH: GA Mom Drops 2 Kids From 3rd Floor During Apartment Fire

SAVANNAH, GA — Newly released body camera footage shows the moments a mother drops her two children to officers from a third-floor window to rescue them from a two-alarm weekend fire in Chatham County.

The 1-minute and 19-second video clip was released Tuesday afternoon by Chatham County Police, which said the children were rescued by officers Thomas Velte and Brandon Lowe.

The blaze ignited around 4 a.m. at an apartment complex in the 1000 block of King George Boulevard.

Velte and Lowe ran toward the building, where they found both upper floors consumed with fire and a mother with her two children trapped on the third floor, police said.

In the body camera footage, the woman is heard asking if she could drop her children to the officers. It also appears she told them she was unable to breathe.

The officers are then seen catching the children once they were dropped and moving them away from the burning building.

After some time, firefighters can then be seen using a ladder, appearing to climb to the window.

The mother can be heard shouting, "My kids." Police said Velte assured her, "Your kids are fine. I got your kids."

After crews used ladders to tend to a portion of the building heavily involved in flames, fire officials said Capt. John-William Farrell and Firefighter Christopher Carter rescued three more people.

Shortly after 4:45 a.m., the building partially collapsed, and the fire was brought under control around 5:45 a.m., fire officials said. All residents were accounted for without injury, they added.

The two children who were rescued from the window were taken to Memorial University Medical Center after suffering smoke inhalation, police and fire officials said.

"We are proud of our officers, and grateful that no one was seriously injured in this horrific blaze," police said Tuesday.

Twenty-two of the 24 apartments were involved in the fire, officials said.

The American Red Cross assisted with the displaced residents. The Georgia Fire Marshal's Office is investigating the cause of the fire.
