VIDEO: On the 15th anniversary of the Sofa Super Store fire that killed nine Charleston firefighters, people from around the country came to North Charleston to honor first responders who have perished in the line of duty.
“Our goal is to bring awareness and to really honor our mission that we made on 9/11, to never forget,” Event Coordinator Rachel Cole said “So, we want to remember the individuals that have given their lives for our country as first responders, both our individuals on 9/11 and then our local heroes as well. So, we do honor our Charleston Nine today as well as some other local heroes that have died in the line of duty.”
Participants of the 2nd annual Charleston Memorial Stair Climb honored the men and women who lost their lives on 9/11 by climbing the stairs of the North Charleston Coliseum.
