WEST WARWICK, R.I. (AP) -- Survivors of a 2003 nightclub fire and relatives of the 100 people killed will gather on the grounds of the blaze on Sunday for an annual memorial service.

The service will include a recitation of the victims' names as well as music and 100 seconds of silence.

The Feb. 20, 2003 fire at The Station nightclub in West Warwick began when pyrotechnics used by the 1980s rock band Great White ignited cheap packaging foam used as soundproofing on the building's walls and ceiling. Besides the 100 killed, more than 200 othes were injured.

The band's tour manager, Daniel Biechele, served less than half of a four-year prison sentence for involuntary manslaughter; the club's two owners, Jeffrey and Michael Derderian, pleaded no contest to the same charges for illegally installing the soundproofing foam.

Michael Derderian will be released on parole later this year, but his brother was spared jail time.

The anniversary comes as survivors and victims' relatives await their shares of a $176 million settlement reached with dozens of people and companies sued after the fire. Survivors who were the most severely burned stand to receive the largest payouts.

Their lawyers won't say how much individual clients will receive, but expect the range of payments to be from roughly $20,000 to several million dollars.

The settlement money, which is being distributed according to a point system developed by a Duke University law professor, is not expected to be doled out for several months.

The roadside lot where the club once stood is now dotted with crosses and other personal mementos. A permanent memorial with a garden and park is planned for the site, but work has been delayed because the land has been tied up in the lawsuits over the fire.
