This IQP is a radio documentary telling the story of the Cold Storage Warehouse Fire of 1999. The goal of this project is to provide historical context to a significant event in Worcester, Massachusetts' history and the impact it still holds eleven years later. The show covers the night of the fire, the memorial service, and the ongoing collaboration between Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) and the Worcester Fire Department. This project involved research, interviewing, writing, and production in order to create a historically accurate and emotional show.
