On February 20, 2003, a deadly fire caused by the use of pyrotechnics resulted in the deaths of 100 people and the injuries of 230 others at the Station nightclub in West Warwick, Rhode Island. According to official investigative accounts, it took less than six minutes for the nightclub to be fully engulfed in flames and completely destroyed. In just over five minutes, the lives of many people were changed forever, and no one inside of the club saw it coming until it was too late.
