One of the firemen explains that the guys, all of whom are white, don't want to be pilloried as racists for their opposition to the statue.

 Strike by firemen may lead to safety walkouts | Syndication | Uk News | News | Telegraph
Union leaders warned the Government last night that the firemen's strike could disrupt much of the country as other groups of workers threatened to walk out on safety grounds because of lack of fire cover.
Nick Raynsford, the local government minister, at first suggested that there was no need for a meeting with Andy Gilchrist, the leader of the firemen's union, to discuss cover in the event of a major crisis or terrorist incident during the strike.

 State Firemen's & Fire Marshals' Association of Texas : Firemen's Monument
The Firemen's Association did not erect the monument at the time, probably because of the construction of the Capitol, and in February 1895 the legislature amended the 1883 act to provide for the selection of a site for the monument.
In place of the bronze statue of a fireman holding a baby on the monument today, the Firemen's Monument originally had a tall obelisk (an upright four-sided usually monolithic pillar that that gradually tapers as it rises and terminates in a pyramid) topped by a granite statue of a firemen holding a large fire hose.
It is of gray granite, 50 feet 2 inches in height, and stands on a pedestal composed of four bases, the first base being 12 feet square, the second 9 feet square, the third 7x6, and fourth base 6x6, the four bases together forming a pedestal about 6 feet 6 inches in height.
