In October 1997, the Chicago City Council recommended that Sullivan be recorded as the person who started the fire, by accident.
The Triangle Fire in 1911 highlighted critical safety deficiencies in workplace conditions, leading to reforms in labor laws and fire safety regulations. Following this tragedy, there was increased emphasis on fire safety measures, including building codes and emergency exits. In the case of the Tyson Plant fire in 1991, these lessons were applied, resulting in better implemented safety protocols, such as fire drills and accessible escape routes, which likely contributed to a lower casualty rate compared to the Triangle Fire. The legacy of the Triangle Fire underscored the importance of worker safety and regulatory oversight in preventing similar disasters.
