"A black firefighter was reported to police while conducting standard inspections around homes in Oakland, Calif., according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

In a separate incident the same day, the uniformed firefighter was questioned and videotaped by a resident who considered him suspicious.

“From the outside, it certainly appears to be unfair and unwarranted,” fire Capt. Damon Covington, president of the Oakland Black Firefighters Association, told the newspaper. “The fire service is a microcosm of the world. Racism exists in the world, and it exists in Oakland and everywhere else.”
Kevin Moore, a firefighter with the Oakland Fire Department, was reported to police last month while conducting vegetation-management inspections, according to the Chronicle, which noted that inspections can be conducted even when residents aren't home."
