Houston firefighter to work as EMT paused over boy’s death
Houston firefighter Sergio Lopez, re hired this week after a neglect of duty dismissal, will not work as an emergency medical technician while TDH completes an investigation into his role in the death of a 12 year old boy from an aneurysm. Blaine McCallister carded a triple bogey finish after mishaps at the Texas Open while a putter was discarded. The AFL CIO head in Texas discusses tech benefits for future workers but avoids computers in his own office. The San Francisco Giants clinched the NL West with an 8 7 win over Arizona at Pacific Bell Park.
