If somebody was alleging racial bias in Fire Department hiring, they’re wrong
To put it bluntly: you can’t be biased against people who aren’t even applying for jobs.
The Civil Rights Division of the Texas Workforce Commission gave the Lancaster Fire Department a clean bill of health on hiring practices.
The department tested 108 people for various positions during the period under review by the state, presumably in response to comment from someone.
Of those 108, one was African-American and six were Hispanic.
You can’t hire black firefighters if none are applying. It’s that simple.
