Atlanta-based Home Depot has tentatively agreed to settle a lawsuit brought by survivors of a Rhode Island nightclub fire and relatives of the 100 people who died. The home improvement giant, along with Polar Industries Incorporated, have settled for $5-million dollars. The 2003 fire at the Station Night Club began when pyrotechnics set fire to soundproofing foam around the stage. Polar Industries was accused of manufacturing and selling insulation that was dangerous and defective. Home Depot sold the material.
