04-17-2013 is a date I won't ever forget.

I was 23, at my first job at KWTX in Waco, and among some of the first to arrive in West, TX, after the fertilizer plant exploded there following a fire.

A decade later, this night is still fresh for the town and the families of those who sacrificed their lives that night.

15 in all were killed. 12 were first responders.

Tonight at 10 on WFAA--we return to West. Hope you'll tune in.
