News & Rants From The Devil

By Stan The Devil

A massive fire swept a furniture warehouse making the roof collapse and taking the lives of nine firefighters. “Nine brave, heroic, courageous firefighters of the city of Charleston have perished fighting fire in a most courageous and fearless manner, carrying out their duties” Charleston Mayor Joseph P. Riley said. “To all of their loved ones, our heart goes out to the.”

Two of the employees that were trapped in the building were rescued from the blaze, which started at around 7pm. Firefighters had to punch a hole through the wall of the furniture warehouse to reach the two trapped employees.

The county coroner planned to disclose the names of the victims. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. It seemed like the fire had started in the storage area. It is still unknown if there were sprinklers in the building.

Some witnesses say that the roof collapsed and hurting about two dozen rescue workers and onlookers were hit by flying ashes. “It was like a 30-foot-tornado of flames” a witness who got hit in the eye said.

“It happened pretty fast. They didn’t have a chance” A salesman at a nearby car dealership said that firefighters came in for towels. Minutes later employees from the dealership were helping directing traffic and carrying hoses.

Flowers were left on the sidewalk in front of what is left of the furniture store.

My thoughts:
I would be so scared to be a firefighter. I know everybody thinks hell is all fire but it’s just special effects. It used to be real fire but it would get too hot in there.
