The Oklahoma City Fire Department announced Monday that Maj. Andy Davis, who died on Christmas Eve, caught the COVID-19 virus while responding to a call. His death was followed by the death of a second fire department employee, Robert Saudia, a support service specialist who died Monday at his home in south Oklahoma City. Both men died at age 45. Davis and Saudia are among 171 fire department employees who have caught the virus, 148 of whom have since recovered. No further details were available Monday about Saudia's death. He was employed by the force for two years. Fire Chief Richard Kelley fought back tears at a news conference Monday afternoon as he talked about Davis, a 20-year veteran based at Fire Station No.
