He says that while the truck was a refrigerated trailer, there was no visible refrigeration unit on board that worked.
San Antonio experienced warm weather on Monday, with temperatures around 39 ° C (103 ° F).
The 16 survivors were taken to hospital about an hour after they were found, he says.
Chief Hood says the process went “very smoothly and quickly,” with about 60 firefighters, 20 firefighters and 20 medical units in response.
Everyone on stage is getting support for what they have, he confirms.
