Now when you dial 9-1-1, there are changes due to COVID-19. But will they hurt your ability to receive care? Charles Hood, Chief of the San Antonio Fire Department, talks to Randy Beamer about emergency response in the midst of a pandemic.

Hood also reveals that some firefighters infected their loved ones at home, his opinion on wearing or not wearing a mask, and why a SAFD program put in place years ago is now at the forefront of COVID-19 testing.

Hood has been Fire Chief since 2007 and commands approximately 1,800 personnel.
