The Worst Fire in West Virginia's History In the early morning hours of Friday, March 4, 1949, a fire started that will never be forgotten.
" Jumping into the flaming hole, he grabbed one man and flung him bodily to the alley above" "Just as
he reached for another man, Coats was overcome by smoke and never seen
again until his body was recovered"
 Every year, a memorial is held on Capitol Street for the men who lost their lives in the Woolworth fire.
