Bells, Videos Honor West First Responders

As part of a fire department tradition, a bell was rung for each of the first responders who died in the West fertilizer plant explosion, then the 5-5-5 signal was given in a final salute.

Family members paid tribute to the first responders who died in the West fertilizer plant explosion and each of their names were later read aloud, with a bell rung after each name.

Video messages from family members were played Thursday during a memorial service in Waco.

President Barack Obama, Texas Gov. Rick Perry and thousands of attendees watched relatives of the 10 first responders and 2 honorary first responders speak about their loved ones.

You can see each of them below, in the order they were played during the memorial.
