charleston_fire • Today, we remember our Charleston 9 and their sacrifice. On June 18, 2007, the Charleston Fire Department lost nine brave firefighters while battling a devastating blaze at a furniture store. These heroes were memorialized on June 22, 2007. A procession of more than 300 fire engines, ladder trucks, ambulances, and command vehicles stretched approximately 7.5 miles and moved single-file along a route which passed each of the three fire stations from which firefighters were lost, as well as past the site of the fatal fire. #WeRemember #NeverForget #charleston9 #charlestonfirefighters #charlestonfire
