The Cummins family dog even made it out.
"When you look at those pictures and then you realize that we got out just in time and we're all OK and none of us were injured -- it's just amazing," Jill said.
And the Cummins are thinking of the families of the two people who died.
"Heart-wrenching... of course we didn't want anybody to die," Jill said.
A fund was set up to help the Cummins family get back on their feet.
