NEWS IN BRIEF

MARCH 17, 2005 - What started as a small fire turned into a six hour ordeal for local firefighters, who battled a constantly rekindling blaze into late Wednesday evening. Workers and residents in downtown Wilmington had a front row seat for the fire when it started around mid-afternoon. The stubborn blaze was burning on the Brunswick County side of the Cape Fear River. It was a smoky fire, sending up a thick plume of smoke, even as the rains continued to beat down the flames. The fire was burning at a boat salvage yard. Firefighters had a hard time reaching the flames and finally putting them out. They were looking for hot spots until about 10:00 Wednesday night. No one was hurt and there was no significant damage.

A huge fire engulfed a Rhode Island nightclub, trapping patrons in the building and resulting in at least one death, fire officials said.

The fire broke out at about 11 p.m. Thursday during a pyrotechnics display during a Great White concert at The Station in West Warwick.

Jack Russell, the lead singer of Great White, told that he checked with the club's manager before the show and the band's use of pyrotechnics was approved. He said he felt the heat of the flames while on stage. "This place went up like the Fourth of July," he said.

The West Warwick Fire Department confirmed there were injuries, but could not immediately say how many.

Television footage showed giant flames flying into sky, and several clubgoers were seen being taken away in ambulances. Providence television station WLNE reported at least 30 ambulances carried injured people from the nightclub to Rhode Island Hospital in Providence and Kent County Memorial Hospital in neighboring Warwick. Great White is a 1980s heavy metal band whose hits include "Once Bitten, Twice Shy" and "Rock Me."
