The resolution accuses Fire Chief Joel Baker of being slow to deploy assistance to Kerr County during the deadly July 4 flood.

The Austin Firefighters Association has delivered a vote of no confidence in the Austin Fire Department’s chief, following accusations by top union leadership he delayed emergency response

Austin's firefighters union approved a vote of no-confidence in Chief Joel Baker on Friday. The Austin Firefighters Union overwhelmingly approved a vote of no-confidence in the fire chief Friday over a department policy members said prevented first responders from helping out ahead of the historic Hill Country floods.

The Austin, Texas, fire chief is being accused of denying requests to send rescuers to Kerrville days before the catastrophic flooding — because of an $800,000 dispute with the state government.

Eight people are dead and four people remain missing following historic flash floods that ripped through Central Texas and the Texas Hill Country during the Fourth of July weekend. On Thursday, July 10, the Travis County Sheriff's Office identified some of the victims recovered, with several still pending.

Alert fatigue may have led some residents to ignore warnings. Spotty cell service also could have kept some alerts from coming in at all.

Nearly a week after deadly floods struck Central Texas, search and rescue teams are continuing to probe debris for those still missing.
