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.
