The Triangle Factory fire is a factory that was burned down by a careless woman smoking a cigarette and burned down the factory while having about 200 teenage and adult women in the building that were killed by the fire because the owners of the factory had the doors Locked so the women could not quit and leave. It was important because that is what started the women's labor laws, which is to let women have more pay , safer working environment's, teaching women how to escape fires, and to keep the doors of the work area unlocked in case of another factory fire.
