Deadline extended for Hope Award nominations

PROVIDENCE - The governor's office has extended a deadline for nominations for Rhode Island's Hope Award in honor of The Station nightclub fire victims, survivors and family members.

The deadline, originally set for tomorrow, has been extended to Friday, Jan. 6, according to Governor Carcieri's office. This year's award will recognize a first responder and caregiver who acted "above and beyond the call of duty" during West Warwick nightclub fire in February 2003 that killed 100 people. In later years, the award will recognize first responders and caregivers who helped with other emergencies.

More information and a nomination form is available from the governor's Web site.
