San Antonio Fire Chief Charles Hood offered his interpretation of a federal report to be released this week that examines the circumstances surrounding the death of firefighter Scott Deem. He has seen a preliminary copy of the review that was conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, an institute within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. He declined to provide a copy prior to its official release but pre-emptively gave an overview of its conclusions during an interview Monday with the Express-News. Hood said he was doing so to make sure reporters understood the nuance of a report that was not written for laypeople. Reporters from local TV and radio stations were not included in the meeting.
