SAN ANTONIO – A San Antonio Fire Department captain, terminated in 2015 after facing allegations he worked a second job while collecting line-of-duty injury benefits, has been reinstated by SAFD and is scheduled to report for duty Monday morning.
Thomas Caldwell, a 19-year veteran of SAFD, is likely due significant back pay, leave and benefits.
Sources familiar with his reinstatement said back pay alone could top $600,000.
