Station nightclub fire is remembered

Pain, hope mark 10th anniversary

WEST WARWICK, R.I. — Survivors of a 2003 nightclub blaze that killed 100 people and relatives of those killed huddled together in bitter cold Sunday to mark the 10th anniversary of the Station fire.

Some brought flowers and paid respects at the handmade crosses that dot the site of the fire for each person who died. Others cried and spoke of missing their loved ones and the difficulty of moving past such trauma.

Comments

If Globe editors read the stories in the ProJo over the past week, they'd learn 1) long before the fire, it was a neighbor complaining about noise who recommended using foam that his company eventually sold to the club, and 2) that a West Warwick fire inspector on two separate fire safety inspections failed to do his job, yet has never been held to account.
