Comments on: 9 Firefighters Perish In Charleston Blaze

Firemen Killed Fighting Furniture Store Fire; Deadliest Disaster For Firefighters Since 9/11

My heart goes out to the families and co workers. God Bless all of you.
I agree with the other posters, firefighters are Angels...they go running into places the rest of us run away from. And they pay a heavy price for doing what they do.

The world has lost 9 brave souls, who, indeed, did make a difference.

I'd like to know who sent 9 firefighters into a burning building where there were no people only furniture after they rescued the two employees? What a horrible thing to happen to 9 brave souls. My condolences to the families. Someone has some explaining to do.

Am I missing something here? Everyone was out of the building So why were 9 or more firemen inside? I can see if an apartment or office building is on fire and firemen are inside for rescue but this was a furniture store warehouse. They should have done the best they could from the street and just keep the flames from spreading, is saving a building worth 9 lives?

These men and women ARE angels. Sometimes we neglect to honor them while they are here with us. Angels walk among us. At my son's memorial service one of the speakers said, "Make no mistake, you were in the presence of an angel."
Bless the families of these men.

I am horrified that something like this can happen. Nine lives lost is a complete tragedy. The men and women who are in careers that protect us regular citizens are heros. It is a shame we seem to only recognize how important our Fire Fighters,Police Officers and Military are when they have suffered the lose of life in the line of duty.These people are everyday heros. There should be a day yearly,of national recognition for our American heros. My better half is a Fireman for the city of Charleston S.C.. I am very fortunate to have received a call from him at 3am this morning. My entire heart goes out to the families of the brave 9 who were lost to this fire. Thank you to all the brave souls who have careers that put themselves in harms way. Be safe and God bless you all.

God bless all fire-fighters. They do what very few others have the desire or courage to do. One can't say enough about the good that they do. My thoughts and prayers are with the families who lost their loved ones.

Peace

Firefighters are nothing short of Angels! May God bess these families and protect the souls of these precious lives which were lost. There are simply no words to describe how tragic this is but many words to describe what hereos these firefighters are.

Heroes--pure and simple. These brave firefighters willingly entered an inferno others wanted only to escape. And in doing so, they placed the lives of others above their very own.

My condolences to each firefighter's family, friends, and colleagues. May they find some measure of peace in knowing there is a special place in the heavens for such brave and selfless souls.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the families of those brave people who gave their lives! The last tragedy Charleston saw was over 15 years ago and this brought back a flood of memories to me since I lost a neighbor to that explosion. May peace be with all of you! KMylin, Va Beach, VA.
