WEST, Texas (Reuters) - Texas
officials released the names of four volunteer firefighters on Sunday
killed in a deadly blast in this close-knit Texas town, as authorities
identified the center but not the cause of last week's deadly fertilizer plant blast.
Among the dead named at a news conference outside city hall in West, Texas, were brothers Doug and Robert Snokhous,
remembered by their family as "lifelong best friends" who lived half a
mile from each other and worked together at an ironworks in nearby Waco.
"Doug and Robert could always be seen together, whether
they were hunting, working on cars, golfing or cooking barbecue at the
volunteer fire departments cook-off," their family said in a statement
read to reporters."They were always together and we were always comforted that they were together at the end."
