Horrific article to read, old mate had to go to fires by himself and respond to emergencies from black people while all the white people hid. Terrible

Not just that, but they locked and restricted his access to medical equipment so he had to make a detour to get a different one, and that time cost the person he was trying to save her life.

Complete scum.

Not just hid but tried to prevent him from responding at all.

Undeniably racist and absolutely disgusting.

Hopefully their houses catch on fire and no one helps them.
