- Triangle Shirtwaist. Factory Fire
- The Triangle shirtwaist Factory was the top 3 floors of the ASCH building. Almost everyone who worked there were teen girls that didn't speak English and had to work up to 12 hours everyday. There were 4 elevators and 2 stairways but both were unusable. The fire escape was also too small to be safe on time. Everyday-the workers had to line up to make sure they weren't stealing anything from the factory.
- On march 25 1911, the fire had started because someone had accidentally thrown a cigarette into a bin of flammable fabrics. After the fire was acknowledged, people tried to break down the doors to the stairs.
- Others tried the fire escape, which eventually collapsed due to being poorly maintained. The workers on the 8th floor were able to break down the door and almost all were able to escape. Before they left, they were able to phone the 10th floor and alert them about the fire.
- fire bad
- protest
-  Unfortunately, they were unable to reach the 9th floor,For the women and men on the 9th floor, they were left with two options: jump or be burned alive. All of the occupants of the 10th floor, except one, survived.
-  the firefighters didn't have enough sources and their ladders only reached the 6th floor. Their hoses also could not reach the 8th floor. Within 15 minutes, 146 workers had died in the fire. nothing the department had could have been of any use.  A pile of burned bodies in front of a locked door measured to about 6 feet tall.
- The owners did not follow fire safety regulations by locking the doors and not having sprinklers or full water buckets.  The city could be blamed for not enforcing the fire safety laws and turning a blind eye towards the Triangle Factory. On April 5, 1911, people had protested the unsafe conditions.
