Charleston Fire Department

Today marks 13 years since nine Charleston firefighters were killed in a fire at the Sofa Superstore, reports WSPA 7 News.

Firefighters rushed inside and rescued the employee. The fire quickly consumed the building once that worker was freed.

But the firefighters still inside the building sent out a “mayday call.” The fire caused the roof to collapse.
