Gloucestershire's fire chief apologises to the families of firefighters who say they experienced racism.
A fire chief has apologised to the families of two firefighters over the racism they say they have experienced.
"If he opened the door for some people they would ignore him, just shut the door. They pretty much ostracised him."Mrs James said her husband believed he was treated that way due to the colour of his skin."There were others things going on where people had got away with it, but he was obviously being victimised so it was tough. He did struggle."
After the tribunal Mrs James said there was no apology or contact from senior officers at the fire service, until Mr Preece met with the family in July this year. Mrs James said those responsible for the treatment of her husband have not apologised and "take no blame".
