Nine Charleston Firefighters Perish in Blaze CHARLESTON, S.C. --
Fire swept through a furniture warehouse, collapsing the building's roof
and claiming the lives of nine firefighters in a disaster the mayor described Tuesday as "difficult to fathom or quantify." "Nine brave, heroic, courageous firefighters of the city of Charleston have perished fighting fire in a most
courageous and fearless manner, carrying out their duties," Charleston Mayor Joseph P. Riley said at a morning news conference.
"To all of their loved ones, our heart goes out to them."

"Sticker club"
Please remove all IAFF markings
from your vehicle when selling, trading-in, etc. The IAFF logo is universally known and respected and identifies both them
and their family members as part of an elite profession and connected to Organized Labor. IAFF decals and emblems should not be given or sold to any individuals or non-family members who are not IAFF members.
What you perceive to be a friendly gesture may be viewed by a police officer as illegal. Police in some states have interpreted
the displaying of an IAFF or fire department logo by individuals who are not firefighters or the immediate family member of
a firefighter as impersonating a firefighter, which is illegal in most states.
DO THE RIGHT THING. REMOVE IAFF DECALS WHEN DISPOSING
OF A MOTOR VEHICLE IN ANY WAY.
