Update: Station Fire Memorial, '41' Documentary Set For This Afternoon

The ninth annual memorial of the Station Nightclub Fire is scheduled for 1 p.m. today, while the documentary about Nick O'Neill is set to air at 2 p.m. on statewide cable TV.

A 2007 documentary about Nick O'Neill, the youngest victim of the Station Nightclub Fire, is scheduled to air on statewide Interconnect Channel 13 at 2 p.m., one hour after the ninth annual Station Fire Memorial Service, to be held at the site of the fire in West Warwick.

O'Neill's father, Johnston resident Dave Kane, described the film in a recent email message as "the story of a beautiful life cut short, with the saga of a community in mourning and a family finding its way out of the darkness."

The 2003 blaze at the Station Nightclub in West Warwick claimed 100 lives; O'Neill was just 18 when he died. Pamela Gruttadauria, of Johnston, is listed as the 100th person who passed away following the blaze.
