How
did Travis Barker and DJ AM (real name: Adam Goldstein) survive the
plane crash that killed four people and left them with second- and
third-degree burns?

"[Travis and Adam] told me that they slid
down the wing on the right side of the plane," Lieut. Josh Shumpert of
the South Congaree Police Department tells PEOPLE. Shumpert was one of
the second responders at the scene – Congaree is the town outside of
Columbia, S.C. – after the airport police arrived.

"They said
they were on fire," adds Shumpert, whose patrol car's dashboard camera
caught video of the fiery aftermath, "and that they tackled each other
and put each other out."

"When I got there they were on the side of the road," says Shumpert. "They were
pacing and in shock."

"Travis was very shaken up," he says, noting that Barker was given Gatorade
after he asked for some water.

According to the lieutenant, the pair weren't naked, contrary to eyewitness
statements.

"Travis
was wearing some kind of shorts and no shirt," says Shumpert, adding
that Goldstein was wearing shorts or boxers as well. "Travis had one
sock on. And a black hat on his head."

Quick Thinking
The fast reactions of the former Blink 182 drummer Barker, 32, and Goldstein,
35, gave them a good chance of a full recovery.

"Since
both Barker and Goldstein are in overall good health and didn't suffer
from any other crash-related complications, a full recovery is
expected," said Dr. Fred Mullins of the Joseph M. Still Burn Center at
Doctors' Hospital in Augusta at a Sunday morning press conference.

Mullins added that recovery from such burns can take as long as a year.
