Houston investigates fire truck allegations

HOUSTON Councilwoman Jolanda Jones released a letter last week with the names of nearly 70 firefighters who said they supported her efforts to call attention to discrimination problems at the fire department.

Four firefighters later signed statements saying they never authorized their names to be used on the letter and asked for an investigation.

The Houston Chronicle reports it obtained documents indicating the fire engine was taken out of service on August 3 for a "training." The four firefighters could not immediately be reached for comment.
