Sofa Super Store fire anniversary: families push for change

Families and community members remember the nine Charleston firefighters killed in the Sofa Super Store fire on the one year anniversary of the tragedy. Several victims' families have filed lawsuits against against the Super Store owner, furniture manufacturers and builders in an effort to force change. Motley Rice attorney Kevin Dean discusses these lawsuits with WCSC (Charleston, SC) and says that one way to compensate for the lives lost is to initiate a change among those entities responsible to make sure that such a tragedy never occurs again.
