Inside The Station

Thursday night’s deadly fire at The Station nightclub was sparked by a pyrotechnic display and fueled by acoustic foam lining the walls behind the stage, fire officials said. Thick smoke obscured exits as patrons rushed to the club’s front door. The building was fully engulfed in three minutes, West Warwick Fire Chief Charles Hall said.
