Myrtle Beach golf tourney to honor 9 lost in store blaze

A South Carolina golf tournament created six years ago to thank New York City firefighters who faced death at the World Trade Center has a new focus this year.

Organizers say the annual FDNY tournament in Myrtle Beach will be dedicated to the nine Charleston firefighters who died fighting the Sofa Super Store fire last June.

More than 600 firefighters from across the nation and Canada will play on 30 Myrtle Beach-area courses later this month.

One of the fallen Charleston firefighters was Capt. Louis Mulkey. In the past, he brought other firefighters from Charleston who volunteered to cook at the tournament's picnic and awards ceremony.
