SOUTH CAROLINA: Youth group responds to firefighter deaths
The firefighters died battling a fire in a Charleston furniture warehouse that became an inferno of exploding windows, columns of flame and steel beams twisted from 1,000-degree heat, according to the New York Times. Excluding the September 11 attacks, the loss was the nation’s deadliest episode for firefighters in three decades. It occurred in a city that claims one of the country’s oldest professional fire departments.
A local car wash has donated the use of its facilities and the young people and other church members and friends will provide the labor for the June 26 event. Donations accepted per wash.
