Seven dead in NC beach house fire

http://www.thestate.com/news/story/213625.html

Supposely the ones who died are Tri-Deltas and SAEs. Six of the victims attended South Carolina (USC) and one attended Clemson. The other six that were in the house were treated and released.

Please pray for the families of the victims, the suvivors and all of their loved ones (greek or not). The news is already hit Carolina and people are taking it very hard.

I had just read about this prior to logging onto GreekChat. My sincerest sympathies to the families & friends of those who died, as well as the Tri Delta, SAE, and USC families.

I'd really like to know what started that fire, though.

I saw this on the news before reading it; my first thought was I wondered if Greeks were involved.

So sad..they were probably there having a good time and watching/attending the SC-Tenn game.

May God truly have mercy on those TriDeltas and SAEs who died in that house fire, and give comfort to their sisters/brothers and families!

It wasn't reported but I will bet it was a grill on the porch.

Y'all watch those grills. Several years ago, my family had a condo on Lake Travis in Austin and the family in the next condo left their grill burning. It set their deck, then ours on fire--no one was home at the time--and burned down several condos.

Possible Cause

"One of Allison's roomates was able to make it out, just barely. She told Walden a pizza left in the oven and forgotten about may have started the fire."

The Victims...

One of by best friends growing up in South Carolina was the president of SAE at USC...my heart is breaking for him right now...


"Names of the victims had not been announced by authorities. But relatives and friends identified six family members who died:


The father of Allison Walden, 19, of Chagrin Falls, Ohio, confirmed his family is planning a memorial service for his daughter.

Terry Walden told The State he sent his daughter’s dental records for identification purposes.

Walden said after speaking with his daughter’s roommate, Fallon Sposato, he believes his child never woke after going to sleep early Sunday. Sposato was at the house with Walden, but escaped the blaze, he said.


Sophomore Travis Cale, 20, of Greenville was among the students who perished, his brother Burns told The State.

Cale, an upbeat and quick-witted young man, graduated from J.L. Mann High School in 2006 and grew up a Gamecock fan, friends and relatives said.


Lauren Mahon of Simpsonville is another victim, according to a memorial page set up by her friends on Facebook.

A freshman, Mahon listed law and real estate as her academic concentrations on her Facebook profile page.

Mahon is also listed as a 2007 pledge for the USC chapter of Delta Delta Delta on the sorority’s Web site.

Mahon’s friend, Megan Maness, set up the page today in memory of Mahon.


Friends of Cassidy Pendley told the Charleston Post and Courier that the Fort Dorcester High School graduate was among the victims. Memorial pages for her are posted online.


Anna Lee Rhea said her older brother, William, was among the dead - a devastating blow to their older brother, Andrew, who made it out of the house alive.

"Everybody loved him. Everybody really misses him," she said in a brief telephone interview with the Associated Press. "You couldn't help but love him."


Stephen Anderson, 23, told the Wilmington (N.C.) Star his younger brother Justin, a USC sophomore who grew up in Greenville, was among those who died."
