My brother is a former firefighter, and our hearts go out to them. Our prayers will be with their families. What a tragedy.

We were stationed in Charleston off and on for 8 years when the Navy base was still open. Hubby was a volunteer firefighter during hurricane Hugo and worked some long hours with the Charleston Fire Dept. Although we didn't know any of these guys personally, our hearts go out to the families of these firefighters.
It was reported in the Houston Chronicle that the fire started out back at the "smoke break" area. There are trash cans there and presumably a butt tossed into the can later caused the fire. It appears cigarettes claimed 9 more lives.
