LANSING, Mich. - The family who lived in a home that exploded Aug. 2 is telling the story behind their miraculous escape.

Gene Dockstader, his fiancee and their 3-month-old baby girl live in the home that exploded after a car had run into their home, rupturing a gas line.  The family had left the home for less than a minute when it exploded.

A police cruiser got to the scene moments before the gas line exploded, destroying the home.  The explosion was caught on the cruiser's dashboard camera.

The family lost everything in the explosion.  You can help them out with a donation to their GoFundMe page here.
