The Station Night Club Fire: Warwick Police Deparment Logs

The Station nightclub fire occurred on the evening of February 20, 2003, in West Warwick, Rhode Island, United States, killing 100 people and injuring 230. The fire was caused by pyrotechnics set off by the tour manager of the evening's headlining band, Great White, which ignited flammable acoustic foam in the walls and ceilings surrounding the stage. It reached flashover within one minute, causing all combustible materials to burn. Intense black smoke engulfed the club within two minutes. Video footage of the fire shows its ignition, rapid growth, the billowing smoke that quickly made escape impossible, and blocked egress that further hindered evacuation. The toxic smoke, heat, and the resulting human rush toward the main exit killed 100; 230 were injured and another 132 escaped uninjured. Many of the survivors developed post-traumatic stress disorder after the event. This fire was the fourth-deadliest at a nightclub in U.S. history, and the second-deadliest in New England, behind the 1942 Cocoanut Grove fire, which resulted in 492 deaths. In October 2022, I sent a Rhode Island Access to Public Records request to the Office of the Attorney General of Rhode Island for "all available raw video and/or audio materials involving the fire at the former Station Night Club on February 20th, 2003." A month later, I received a USB flash drive containing 496 audio files in .wav format and 1 video file in .mpg format. LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED!
