My Condolences to his family & department. But this brings up an interesting question, Which may require a new blog?? I'm a Fulltime Texas Firefighter and have been for a long time. Anyway my question is I have always heard that IAFF or state provide some type of insurance policy for my family (Heard it was $100k) in the event I die on duty or within 24 hrs after getting off duty, The only requirement I was told is you MUST have an autopsy within 24 hrs of death before your family is eligible. Does anyone know specifics on this??? And how would we go about getting it?? Because like this situation, my wife would be so distraut that she would not even think about the autopsy or filing the claim within the deadline, (Of course I have other policies-just in case) But this would be an extra for my wife & son. Also does this apply only to paid or is it volunteers as well?? what's the criteria, rules, $ Amount, etc.. If anyone has info about this please pass it along...
Once again I am deeply sorry for Capt. Hall's Family and his coworker's.
