- Synopsis
- On March 26, 1911, a fire broke out at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York City. Due to locked doors, unsafe fire escapes, and hazardous working conditions, this tragic fire caused the deaths of 146 people. Later, it also caused important changes in the law. Author Elaine Landau retells the dramatic story of the fire and discusses the resulting safety and fire prevention laws that were passed to help prevent future tragedies.
