BRYAN, Texas (KRHD) — A message posted Wednesday to Facebook by the Bryan Firefighters Association drew a quick response from Bryan city leaders.
The post said mechanical failure placed Engine 5 out of service for Station 5, noting this meant the neighborhood had "reduced fire protection." It also said, " the City of Bryan has not kept pace with the basic maintenance needs."
The City of Bryan responded with a post of its own, calling the statements "misleading and irresponsible." It also noted Engine 5 was returned to service in 54 minutes after repairs.
The Bryan Firefighters Association also shared an update Wednesday stating the engine was now available to respond to calls.
However, the association shared another post Thursday responding to the city's statements, saying the message downplayed real issues faced by firefighters in the field.
