Sal Deluca is a former firefighter at Station 118. He witnessed the beginnings of Henrietta Wilson and Bobby Nash in the team.
History[]
Deluca was a former firefighter at Station 118. He was good friends with Henrietta Wilson, Howard Han, and Tommy Kinard.
In "Bobby Begins Again", during a fire in Guillermo's Eatery, Sal defies a direct order from Robert Nash. Despite the fact that Deluca had saved Freddie Costas, Bobby still confronts him about disobeying the order, fearing if this trend is tolerated, it would escalate and further endanger the crew. Sal, angry at Bobby for trying to change things at the 118, confronts Bobby, while Chimney reminds him that he should not be angry about Bobby being in charge instead of him and no matter how incompetent or arrogant Bobby seems to be. When he still refuses to apologize and "respect the chain of command", Bobby fires him, shocking everyone.
Later, Hen talks to Bobby about what had happened earlier, and Bobby explains the details behind. As Sal did not actually endanger the crew, Bobby was merely expecting them to work this out, and removed Sal from duty when he fought Bobby's orders. Bobby then advised fire chief Alonzo to reassign Sal at Station 122 after the 6-week suspension ends. Hen is surprised and impressed that Bobby gave Sal mercy. Chimney and Tommy are likewise also shared her response when told of Bobby's decision.
Sal was never seen again, but it can be assumed he still works with 122.
Trivia[]
- Sal applied for the Captain position at the 118, though Bobby joined around the same time and became their captain.
