The couple has 10 children together in a blended family ranging from a month old to 18 years old. Seven of them were inside the home when it caught fire.
Nicole Torres had just dropped off two of the children at school before pulling back up to her home five minutes later and finding it on fire.
She said her husband had just laid down when he woke up to find his kitchen in flames.
"He was screaming 'fire, fire' running from room to room trying to get all of our children out."
Her husband had injuries to his arms, feet, and shoulders from searching inside the home to get all the children out.
