The Station Fire Remembered

There are very few people who do not remember the tragic Station nightclub fire that occurred in February of 2003. The fourth deadliest nightclub fire in American history resulted in the loss of 100 lives. There are many stories of loss and survival from that night, and one local filmmaker hopes to highlight many of them in the documentary film, The Station (to be released in February 2013). With the fire’s tenth anniversary approaching next year, filmmaker David Bettencourt, in conjunction with Gina Russo and Paul Lonardo, co-authors of the book From the Ashes, is inviting anyone who wants to participate and share their stories as part of the film to do so; they hope to get as many people involved in the project as possible. Be sure to check out their website to watch a short trailer to the movie or to donate funds to be used in producing the film and developing a memorial at the site of the fire.
