Investigation Summary
On June 18, 2007, Employees #1 - #9 of the City of Charleston Fire Department were engaged in interior structural firefighting in a furniture store at Sofa Super Store, 1807 Savannah Highway, Charleston, SC. The store had been converted from a 1960s era grocery store with a metal truss roof system. The fire and smoke spread rapidly, and they became lost and separated from their hoses. With air in air-packing running out, they could not find their way out. They died of smoke inhalation.
