I'm not making any judgements whatsoever.. just thought it was news enough to let interested parties know. There have also been fines levied against the City of Charleston and the Sofa Superstore for violations regarding both the condition of the store itself and procedures followed during the firefighting incident. just an update on this whole issue.. there are numerous stories on local tv and in the paper where the local firefighters union and some local officials are calling for “Chief Rusty’s” resignation over this ordeal.

They’ve had tremendous response from “the people who get it” and yes, that’s a quote

Kind of self vetting, isn’t it? ; )

As a direct 9/11 victim (I worked in the south tower and was there on that day) I am certainly sympathetic when a firefighter loses his life on the job. Lisa Ann wrote:

Chris R.-In the future, you need to think before you hit the key. 9/11 and the Charleston 9 are both phenomenal tragedies that cannot and should not be compared. The loss of any one man is a tragic loss. In my heart (as in the hearts of many people) I have a particular space for those who willingly risk their lives for the greater good, be they firefighters, police, military, or just the "average" Good Samaritans. By the grace of God, heroes walk among us every day and every where. I add the city of Charleston to my prayer. The tragic losses of our time are born by the families, friends, and communities left behind; these to, I pray for. I pray for the people of Charleston as they succumb to their grief. I pray that those grieving know and understand that they can best serve those lost by the lives the “survivors” lead form this day forth. I am sorry but Chris R’s comment was incredibly insensitive.

I have family down in the area, plus one of my best friends from college owns the ghost tours; I know how close-knit of acommunity it is, regardless of tourism, new developement etc. But you need to be careful that this blog isn't considered a jury tampering/jury pool-seated jury influence. I've seen matter where judges are now gagging not only the parties, but "affiliated" folk who might not be "diectly" affiliated--know what I mean? Fine line between just reporting and advocacy...

NYC's fire department has still not recovered from the losses brough on by 9/11. Percentage wise, this is a 9/11 type loss for the Charlston FD. God bless them.

Our prayers and condolences are with your firefighters. I know how hard it is to lose 1 firefighter in the line of duty, but cannot imagine losing 9 men at once.
