SAN FRANCISCO — The future of Joanne Hayes-White as San Francisco’s fire chief will be debated Thursday at a closed door meeting of the San Francisco Fire Commission — a day after an ambulance dispatched to assist a man in a Sunset District carbon monoxide leak arrived after the required response time to the scene.

The man — 94-year-old Aron Grabois — died at the scene but it was not known if the ambulance’s slow response time played a role in the death. An autopsy was pending.

Deputy Fire Chief Mark Gonzales told KTVU that the incident remains under investigation.
