Chaney recalled the terrifying moment when the walls and furniture collapsed around them. He was buried under debris but escaped with a gash on his head. His son, however, was thrown nearly 300 feet into the woods behind their home.

Thanks to the quick action of neighbors, Malachi was found and rushed to Grady Memorial Hospital. Since then, Tray Chaney has shared encouraging signs of his son's recovery, including Malachi’s ability to squeeze his father’s hand in response to nurses' prompts.

Malachi spent five days in the ICU. He has since been released from the hospital and is walking again, but his recovery continues.

The actor, known for playing Malik "Poot" Carr on the HBO series, shared photos and videos of the reunion on Instagram.

"Y’all Saved My Son’s Life & was there guiding me every step of the way as a FATHER as a HUSBAND through this traumatic devastating life changing experience," Tray Chaney wrote.

In the video, Malachi Chaney told the firefighters he would appreciate them "forever."

"I can't thank you enough, honestly," the teen said.
