The Houston Professional Firefighters Union say six people are being transferred out of Station 54, but we're told this is not punishment, that they all requested to be reassigned.
It's all fallout from an incident this past summer when two female firefighters found what they claimed to be racist and sexist graffiti in the women's dorm.
The attorney for one of the women, Jane Draycott, says one of those being transferred is Captain Brian Williamson. Two weeks ago as Draycott returned to work there, Captain Williamson read a controversial letter saying that her return was dangerous to the rest of the crew and that she can't be trusted.
But Union President Jeff Caynon says the resignations were voluntary.
"It was a mutual decision and more so a decision by our members and for the crew that's assigned to Station 54 in an effort to diffuse the situation and foster good will," he said.
The Houston Fire Department sent out a press release late Friday saying that Captain Williamson will be reassigned to Station 53. And Senior Captain Isidro Tamez will transfer to Station 102. On Monday, both men will report to the Val Jahnke Training Academy for re-training for structural firefighting.
There's still an active investigation underway by the Office of Inspector General. Stay with ABC13 Eyewitness News for the very latest on this still developing story.
