OSHA cites fire department, Sofa Super Store in fire that killed 9

State officials have handed the Charleston Fire Department four citations for violating firefighter safety.

The state Occupational Safety and Health Administration cited the department for one willful violation involving firefighter safety and three serious violations for firefighters on the scene not wearing full protective gear.

Charleston Mayor Joseph Riley says the city will vigorously challenge the citations issued for the safety violations. Riley insists Charleston has already addressed the issues covered in the fines. "Each of the four citations covered areas the city has already addressed. That is, since the fire, either through the re-affirmation of existing policies by Chief Thomas, or by the institution of new policies, the city has addressed the four areas that were covered."
