Remembering the victims of the Station nightclub fire 23 years later

Friday marks 23 years since 100 people died and more than 200 others were injured in a fire at the Station nightclub in West Warwick.

 

The fire on Feb. 20, 2003, sparked by pyrotechnics, broke out inside the venue on Cowesett Avenue while the band Great White was playing.

 

It led to significant changes in fire codes and safety regulations.

 

A memorial now sits where the nightclub used to be.
