Firehouse(1971)

Synopsis

Tensions arise when a previously all-white firehouse gets its first black fireman. An African American youth must deal with both many physical tests and the racism of his peers as he works to become a full-fledged fire fighter in this drama that was originally made as a television pilot. As he is the only black man in an all white unit, things are difficult, especially after he learns that the man he replaced was killed in a fire set by a black arsonist.
