February 16, 2008, 16 years ago
According to Boston.com, relatives of the 100 people killed by The Station nightclub fire will mark the fifth anniversary of the blaze with a memorial service this weekend.
The event Sunday afternoon will be held at the former site of the West Warwick club. Details for a permanent memorial planned for the site are expected to be released then.
The Feb. 20, 2003 fire began when pyrotechnics used by the 1980s rock band GREAT WHITE ignited flammable soundproofing foam on the walls and ceiling.
Besides the 100 people killed, more than 200 others were injured. Eight of those killed lived or worked in Connecticut.
Survivors and victims' relatives have marked each anniversary of the fire with a memorial service at the roadside site.
