The fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist factory was probably caused by a cigarette thrown into a bucket of cloth scraps. The fire turned into a disaster with a large loss of life because there was poor communication between the floors of the factory, many exits were locked, automatic fire protection technology was in a rudimentary stage and not applied in that factory, and fire fighting and rescue equipment was not able to reach the floors where the fire was burning.
