Assistant State Fire Marshal Kelly Kistner told CNN that 18 Texas firefighters have died on duty so far this year, including 10 first responders killed in an explosion at a fertilizer distribution facility in West, Texas.
Ms. Monforton said she didn't think the West Fertilizer Co. facility that exploded Wednesday night in West, Texas, was "going to be on OSHA's radar screen" because it apparently had few employees, despite the fact that it stored highly combustible anhydrous ammonia.
