This is the moment Texas cops present gifts to the survivors of a house blaze who lost most of their belongings.

The police shared the heartwarming clip on social media on 23rd December with the message: “Austin Police Department is proud to recognize officers involved in the rescue of a family from a burning apartment complex.

“On December 11, 2021, at about 3:36 a.m., APD officers responded to a fire at an apartment complex on the 1600 block of East Anderson Lane.

“One of the 9-1-1 callers said she and her 10-year-old daughter were trapped. APD Officer Brent Gray, Officer Ana Aguilar, and Sgt. Robert Gilbert all assisted in rescuing the daughter from the balcony, and Austin Fire Department used ladders to get the mother down.”

The police added: “Thanks to these officers for their quick actions and dedicated response in rescuing this family, they have been nominated for Meritorious Service Medals. Cpl. Chadwick Honaker also assisted at the fire scene, and purchased Christmas presents for the family.

“We are also happy to report that the cat in the apartment was also found safe.”
