A volunteer firefighter who survived being injured in the West fertilizer plant explosion 10 years ago died after responding to a vehicle fire on I-35.
Eddie Hykel was killed responding to a vehicle fire Tuesday. He's now being honored for the service he gave to his community.
Muska said Hykel’s "hard worker" dedication was with him until the moment he died Tuesday, while responding to a vehicle fire on I-35. The first responders blocked off the inside lane with an engine and DPS vehicles to create a safety buffer. "Eddie, unfortunately, was on the front, standing in front of that car and that was pushed on top of him," Muska said.
