Several firefighters at the Round Rock Central Fire Station are demanding answers from the city after they made a shocking discovery this year.
The president of the Round Rock Association of Professional Firefighters says the majority of the firefighters at Station 1 have been having health issues related to mold exposure. Some have reported multiple sinus infections, bronchitis and, even pneumonia.
Billy Colburn, president, and Wayne Pietzsch, secretary, have been firefighters with station 1 (Central Round Rock Fire Station) for decades.
Not only do they fight fires, but right now they're fighting to protect their brothers and sisters at Station 1.
“Guys are feeling like the city doesn't have their back,” Pietzsch said.
In February 2018 several firefighters at Station 1, including Colburn and Pietzsch, started noticing a decline in their health.
