In a statement released Monday, the McKinney City Manager has responded after a labor union representing the city's firefighters voted "no confidence" against Fire Chief Danny Kistner.
The vote was made in December and listed out grievances behind Kistner's leadership of the stations.
The city manager described the complaints filed against the Chief as "a difference of opinion" and stated they were "half-truths intended to mislead other members of the association into supporting their motives."
Officials said Kistner has served over 10 years and they have "full faith and confidence" that he will continue to serve McKinney residents.
