83 Archibald Street Fire Case Study

These are the survivors thoughts on the Triangle Factory Fire. There was over 100 survivors but I choose two of the most important people who lived from the fire and I am sharing their thoughts.

The New York City Triangle Waist Company fire was a disastrous event that paved the road for Progressive Era reforms. A day after the fire, there was an article, “Death List Shows Few Identified,” published by the New York Times listing the identifiable and unidentifiable dead and the injured. Because of the revealed appalling working conditions and the gruesome deaths the workers came to, the reader now desires to join the Progressive movement for improved working conditions and factory safety. The historical Triangle Waist Company fire resulted in not only local factory reforms but national factory reforms as well as increased women’s rights. The “Death List Shows Few Identified” article provides a statistical representation and depiction

Nestled deep in the mountains of Western North Carolina, the Linville Gorge is a federally designated wilderness area that is part of Pisgah National Forest. This unique slice of southern Appalachia is managed by the Grandfather Ranger District and is located in the Blue Ridge Escarpment near the town of Marion, NC. To the east, Linville Gorge is bordered by Jonas Ridge, and the slopes of Linville Mountain form the western border. The two steep sides create a terrain that is extremely rugged and rocky, which would seemingly make it difficult for vegetation to establish communities on the canyon walls. However, this is not the case, as the gorge has very dense populations of hardwoods, conifers, and understory shrubs. The intimidating topography of the Linville Gorge Wilderness area enabled it to be

A construction worker was burned while he was working on a power line. The accident occurred at the Coral Ridge Country Club, which is located in in Fort Lauderdale. The Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue arrived on the scene around 12:11 p.m. Timothy Heiser was one of the people who was called to the scene. He stated the worker was electrocuted, and his body was burned.

The Eagle Creek fire—allegedly sparked by teenagers playing with fireworks over Labor Day weekend—has so far consumed over 37,000 acres in and around some of the most cherished spots in the Columbia River Gorge. On September 14, with rain on the way, officials said firefighters continue to employ burnout operations along the eastern section of I-84 as the fire continues to grow.

In mans history we have seen many great fires from the 1860 Elm Street Tenement in New York City that killed 200 that resulted in a requirement for fire escapes in buildings over 6 stories and multiple exits in new building to the 2003 Station Nightclub in West Warwick, Rhode Island that killed 100, making NFPA later adopted a new standard for nightclubs to be sprinkled with 50 or more occupants.

On 05/02/2018 the Merced County fire department responded to a fire on the property of 15476 August Ave, in the township of Delhi. Fire department personnel arrived on scene and located a large junk pile on the north east corner of the property was in flames. In the course of attempting to control the fire, firefighters opened up an adjacent 30 foot white Aly Aljo trailer with Brown Orange &Tan stripes. Firefighters noticed a large amount of marijuana inside the trailer and contacted the Merced County Sheriff’s Office. Merced County Sheriff’s Deputies responded were able to see from a broken window outside the trailer that there was a large amount of marijuana inside the trailer. Merced County Sheriff’s Deputies contacted the Merced Area Gang and Narcotic Enforcement Team (M.A.G.N.E.T.)

On the night of 21st June 1979, nearly six months before the Hastie fire, Rosabell Fenton was preparing for bed when she saw a figure of a man stood by her front door. The figure moved away when he became aware that he had been seen. She was convinced it was “Daft Peter”, who she knew and had shouted at earlier that day as he was loitering on her porch acting

Severns was found guilty of starting the fire and was sentenced to seventeen years in prison. Prosecutors denied the ability of the aerosol cans to be the cause of the fire. However, after a video of aerosol cans bursting into flames was released, prosecutors admitted that the fire that took place in Severns gun shop could have been accidental. If the video was shown at the trial the outcome would have been different. Severns was offered a plea deal, but he refused the deal because he said he did not do it. I believe that Cameron is innocent. There is no where near enough evidence to prove him as guilty and the aerosol cans are very likely to be the cause of the fire. I do not think his outcome is fair, I believe they made a mistake for imprisoning

A massive wildfire around Fort McMurray, Alberta, moved toward energy production facilities, which caused a shutdown that costed a Canadian manufacturer one million barrel a day. The fire jumped a firebreak area where plants and trees had been removed to stop its spread, moving north of Fort McMurray. About 4,000 workers were evacuated in the northern part of the area. The uncontrolled blaze covered 285,000 hectares, officials said that it was moving 30 to 40 meters per minute. If it keeps moving north, it has potential to impact a much bigger part of the production and impact facilities that were deemed as having no damage, a worker said. The fire also threatened Enbridge Inc's Cheecham crude oil tank farm south of Fort McMurray. The fire

Lincoln County fire departments responded to a fire in a mobile home at 1665 Wagner Bridge Road in Waldoboro during the early morning hours of Friday, April 22.

Political Science Introduction Political science has emerged as one of the most popular subjects for students to study. Political science is widely considered to be the definition of government and other politics, and the consequences of this involvement. This paper will explore the implications of political behavior and the role of government, and compare these issues in the context of one key political event: the day the Triangle Shirtwaist Company caught fire and burned to the ground. Problems

Matthew, Josh, and Dylan stood in rapt silence as they gazed over the beauteous sky.

According to the Ron Dehart, a U.S. Forest Service spokesman, The Sierra Nevada fire has burned through 62,000 acres, approximately 97 square miles of territory in the last week. As of late Sunday, an unoccupied summer home, a trailer, and a shed have been reported to be wrecked in the fire. The speed of that the fire spread resembles what cold in a public school looks like. More than 2,700 firefighters worked through the night to resist the wildfire that blackened nearly 100 square miles of the northern Sierra Nevada Valley.

The person I have chosen to do my scenario on is David Lee Gavitt, who not only was tried and convicted of arson and sent to prison, but had to grieve the death of his family from the fire as well. On March 9, 1985, David and his wife, Angela, went up to their bedroom to have sexual intercourse. While in their room doing their thing, the dog began to scratch on the door. Once David opened the door he was met by fire. He instructed his wife to round up their children and get out. David crawled to a back room with a window, broke it out and called for his wife. When she did not answer, he attempted to go find them, but the fire was too hot and was unable to locate them. Ultimately, David escaped the fire out the window he broke.
