According to a report by Glenn Smith in the Post & Courier , four Charleston firefighters filed suit over the 2007 Sofa Super Store fire that killed nine of their co-workers. The lawsuit is just the latest in an ongoing series of suits. The anniversary of the fire occurs this month on June 18, the third year since the tragedy. Some people are confused as to why lawsuits continue to come out of Charleston but this will likely be an ongoing event for many years to come. The emotional toll has been high and firefighters may not present with serious issues for some time. Further, as time unfolds, more people will learn relevant facts that were apparently unknown at the time. The Sofa Super Store has been targeted in numerous lawsuits since the disaster and the fire department has been overhauled completely with more than half the department serving three years ago now retired or off in new directions.
