Welcome to

If a Florida firefighter dies in training, instead of during an emergency, benefits are cut to their families. Kristen Curry�s husband died during training in Volusia County in 2007. Shortly after his death she and her six year-old son Owen lost their health insurance. Kristen is asking lawmakers to close the loophole.

�I didn�t even realize what had happened until probably a couple of months later because obviously we were in a very emotional state, but when we found out it was devastating and I though that maybe our county would step up and take care of us but unfortunately they didn�t,� said Kristen.

That�s what brought Kristen to the state capitol. Legislation to close the loophole passed the Senate, but House leadership has refused to take it up. There�s still one more day for the House to act.
