No Room on Texas Firefighter Memorial for new names...

There is no more room on Texas Volunteer Firefighter Memorial on the Capitol grounds for new names. This happens right after a dozen firefighters were killed in the West fertilizer plant explosion. 78% of Texas firefighters are volunteers, which is substantial. Details at this link.http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/05/05/texas-volunteer-firefighter-blast-memorial/2131617/
This is very UNFORTUNATE. We need to raise $$$ to expand the Texas firefighters memorial in Austin for our fallen firefighters....Let's get it done after what happened at West.

The fertilizer company in West only had a $1 Million General Liability policy! Hell, my small company has that coverage - its required from our commercial clients -- and we don't store 270 TONS of ammonium nitrate on our property (NONE in fact)...
The policy should fit the risk. Texas needs to make some reforms....NOW.
