Cast Detail: Francisco Gomez

Francisco Gomez is an emergency vehicle technician who does repairs on fire trucks and other emergency vehicles. Since the pandemic began, Gomez has been going out on five to six emergency repair calls a week. Due to COVID-19, more community members are calling 911, causing the vehicles to need more major repairs. As he is one of only a few technicians at his company and in the area that has the specialized knowledge to repair these vehicles, Gomez is finding himself living out of his car at times and driving to do repairs as far as five hours away. These days it’s normal for him to work a 14-hour day, making it challenging to spend quality time with his wife and four daughters.
