A tragic event unfolded on March 25, 1911 that claimed the lives of 146 people, with 123 of the lives lost being women, the only tragedy that led to more deaths in New York City was the terrorist attack on the World Trade Centers on September 11, 2001. A fire broke out on the eighth floor, one of the three floors that was owned by the Tringale Waist Company in the ten story building called the Asch Building. Jo Ann Argersinger stated in her book, The Triangle Fire: A Brief History with Documents, how deadly the fire was, “[t]he Triangle fire was the deadliest workplace tragedy the history of New York City – until September 11, 2001 – and it occurred in what was billed as a fireproof building” .The most practical reason of why the fire may

The Triangle Factory Fire took place in New York on Saturday, March 25, 1911. The fire was marked as the worst in history of the state of New York. Men, women, and children of all ages were there but unfortunately there were more women/girls than men/boys. There were many people to not find a way out of the building but some decided to jump out of the windows for a way of escaping the fire. Majority of those who escaped by the window lost their lives. The employers had no clue of this ever happening as well as the fire department who did not have enough man power or equipment for this massive degree. Although majority of the workers died, there were some who lived to share their stories.

The Great Chicago Fire On a late night in October of 1871, the people of Chicago experienced a tragic and destructive event that would change their city forever. The Great Chicago fire tore through the city and destroyed everything it touched. Though it looked like their lives were crumbling in front of them, this event allowed rebuilding of Chicago which would turn it into a city far more advanced than the one that stood before. Many advancements, including the “Loop” financial district, safer buildings, and an overall heightened sense of morale owe their creation to this event. The Chicago Fire of 1871, while it was a traumatic event for the city itself, allowed the community to positively rebuild and transform it into the “City of the

What happened the day of the Triangle Fire? What progressed after it? On Saturday, March 25, 1911. At 4:25, which was 5 minutes before closing time at the Triangle Shirt Factory. The Triangle factory, owned by Max Blanck and Isaac Harris, was located on the top three floors of the Asch Building, floors 8, 9, and 10. Some cutters were smoking, even though it was prohibited. Though it is not certain, people believe that a cutter flicked a cigarette butt or hot ash, into one of the waste bins with flammable cloth in them. Many of the garment workers before the year of 1911 were unorganized, mostly because they were young immigrant

The Chicago fire was a huge part of our history. We can never forget about the Chicago fire because it changed how some people lived. The Chicago fire affected people in many ways. Many people had an idea about how the fire started, where it started and who caused it. It took years to rebuild what had been destroyed, the effect of the chicago fire was remarkable.

The hayman fire is the biggest fire in recorded history burning 138,000 acres. The fire has had long lasting damages on the environment. There were many factor that added up that created a dangerous situation where the area was very fire prone. Though the fire was believed to be started by a woman burning a letter but the forest had the right conditions to generate a massive fire.

The Triangle Shirtwaist Fire is one of the most well known fire that has every happened in American Industrial history. The company was owned by Max Blanck and Isaac Harris who were rumored to have purposely caught their past companies on fire to collect the large fire insurance payment. This was not the case with this fire but Harris and Blanck did not take responsibilities for safety measures. Deadly fires are bound to happen when the owners of a company neglect the safety of their workers and that is what caused this fire.

How would society be if it didn’t have the proper tools or materials it needed to save life or if safely wasn’t the first thing people thought of and it was all about money learn to see how the Triangle Fire started, kill hundreds, and why reforms were passed after this fire. The Triangle Fire in New York City was the deadliest lethal workplaces tragedy in U.S. history until the attack on the World Trade Center. It killed 146 people and most were women, the women worked in a hard and unsafe work environment and were mostly crowded. These working conditions were mostly neglected by owner of the factory and the owner of the building, but let's see what Albert Marrin an author of the book “Flesh and Blood So Cheap” know about the Triangle Fire

On the night of October 8, 1871 at 9:00pm, a horrible fire broke loose. Very dry weather, leaving the ground dry, the wooden city vulnerable. The abundance of wooden buildings a fire started in a barn, outside in Chicago behind the home of Patrick and Catherine O’Leary at 13 Dekoven street. The Great Chicago Fire people are saying was caused by the cow of Patrick and Catherine O’Leary kicked a lantern. No one really doesn’t know how this great fire was started but some theories say humans or a matador caused this fire.

On October 8, 1871, the infamous Chicago Fire ignited. Although the origins remain unexplainable, the ending result left Chicago in a catastrophic mess. Roughly 300 people died and 17,450 buildings received mass amounts of damage during the fire. Over ⅓ of the city appeared lost in ruins and polluted rivers burst into flames. In addition, the city paid an estimated two hundred million dollars in repairs.

In about 1852 the Borough of Green Bay purchased a portion of a lot on the east side of South Washington Street just south of Walnut Street. That site is currently the southern end of the Backstage at the Meyer. To promote a permanent fire department, the borough built a two-story wooden engine house there and obtained a new hand pumper fire engine. A new fire company (named Alert) formed, but ceased operations within two years, as had two previous fire companies in 1841 and 1847.

The rising number of high severity wildfires in California has significant ecological, economic, and health impacts. Many western American forests are adapted to frequent low severity fires. However, the majority of these forests, and particularly the mixed conifer forests of California, are not adapted to high intensity fires and do not possess fire resistance adaptations such as serotinous cones to protect seeds. Consequently, high severity fires have significant negative impacts on California forests, and the absence of low severity fires has considerably altered many fundamental ecosystem processes (Miller et al. 2008). Prior to 1900, low severity fires would burn every 6-15 years. Low severity fires are generally non-lethal, have minimal change to the overstory, and kill mainly small trees. In the past, these fires were started naturally by lightning, or by Native Americans who used low severity fires to manage the forests.

Their goal is to limiting the exposure to firefighters and first responders to these cancer causing toxins. The chemicals outlined in the submitted language of LC182 are defined as  "Flame-retardant chemical" means a chemical or chemical compound for which a functional use is to resist or inhibit the spread of fire. "Flame-retardant chemical" includes, but is not limited to, halogenate, phosphorus-based, nitrogen-based and nanoscale flame retardants and any chemical or chemic compound for which "flame retardant" appears on the substance safety data sheet required under Code of Federal Regulations, Section 1910.1200(g) (2015). (LD182,

Many fire service personnel that have fifteen or twenty years of service have seem many things change over time. One radical change is the way fires consume structures today when compared structures years ago, these fires have be classified as modern and legacy fires. When responding to a modern construction fire versus a legacy fire, does it change how we fight these fires? Well the answer to that is simply yes! Modern construction physiognomies have greatly changed to accommodate the comfort of the homeowner, which is not firefighter friendly. In modern construction home the floor plans are larger in size to give more living space. As the living spaces grow the footprint of the residence increases as well. As the word modern leads to occupants thinking comfort, when truthfully causes disadvantageous consequences for the fire service with open geometrics, new construction materials, and also include an increased fire load. All these construction advantages only lead to faster propagation of the fire, as well decreases the amount of time for a flashover to occur. Modern construction has led to hasty changes in fire dynamics, which at the same time decreases the amount of time to escape to safety. The structural collapse time is greater since the amount of time as been lessened

Our glass fronted gas fires in Bamber Bridge are of high quality and will increase the appeal of your house. We know that quality stoves, more specifically, glass fronted gas fires, can add a touch of luxury to your home. However, they are not just an accessory to decorate a room. Other than their visual appeal, their benefits include safety, functionality and energy efficiency. As modern safety glass is made to withstand the heat generated by gas fires, it assists by helping to conduct the radiant heat they produce. The glass also frames the realistic fire beds and interiors of modern gas fires. The use of glass is not only for aesthetic reasons. The use of the glass means that the fire is completely room-sealed, so that the air flow is restricted to the flue and the fire chamber. Glass fronted gas fires also have energy efficiency ratings of between 70 – 85%.
