| On Monday June 18, 2007, more than a dozen firefighters who rushed into the burning furniture superstore knew - or thought they knew - two things: employees were trapped inside and the blaze was small enough to control. But within moments, flames swept across the warehouse, blowing out windows and eventually collapsing the roof in a twisted mass of brown steel. Nine men were killed in the nation's biggest loss of firefighters since 9/11.
The members of Huntingtown VFD would like to express our deepest condolences to the family and friends of these 9 men along with the entire Charleston, SC Fire Department. |
