After a car crash in Lodi, the off-duty firefighter walked up to the other driver’s window and accused the person of not letting him pass on the freeway.
A video of an Alameda County firefighter directing racist comments to a driver during a heated exchange has been circulating on social media, leading to the firefighter’s temporary suspension. After a car crash in Lodi, the off-duty firefighter walked up to the other driver’s window and accused the driver of not letting him pass on the freeway.
Alameda County Fire Chief William McDonald confirmed at a press conference Monday that the man in the video was an Alameda County firefighter who has been placed on administrative leave. A spokesperson for the fire department said it would not disclose the identity of the firefighter at this time. The investigation is ongoing and will determine if the firefighter, who has been with the organization since 2004, will face further consequences beyond administrative leave, McDonald said.
