On this day last year, the TDCJ - Huntsville Unit suffered from a fire on its second story, but thanks to the hard work of officers, staff, and first responders, the unit was safely evacuated and the fire was contained. We are resharing a video of officers and staff from that time that helped make that possible. #TDCJ | Texas Department of Criminal Justice
