What is the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire?

The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire was a giant fire that took place on March 25 1911. It killed 146 people, mostly immigrant girls. The whole fire was over in 18 minutes. The owners of the factory Max Blanck and Isaac Harris were put on trial but not found guilty.


Why did the Triangle Shirtwaste Factory fire occur?

The fire occurred because the factory's owners, Max Blanck and Isaac Harris, did not do many things. They did not run fire drills, did not check to make sure the fire hose worked, did not put enough fire buckets or even fill the 24 buckets there were, did not trust there workers, so they locked the doors and did not even teach the girls how to stay calm in a fire. The hanging shirtwaist patterns were perfect for a fire to spread. Blanck and Harris allowed the men to smoke and one day a fire started because of the smokers. That's how the fire started.
