The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire was a tragic industrial disaster that occurred on March 25, 1911, in New York City. It claimed the lives of 146 garment workers, primarily young immigrant women, due to inadequate fire safety measures. Locked exit doors and the absence of fire escapes contributed to the high death toll as the fire quickly engulfed the factory's upper floors. The disaster served as a catalyst for labor reform and workplace safety regulations in the United States. It led to increased awareness of workers' rights and the establishment of organizations dedicated to improving labor conditions, ultimately paving the way for better workplace safety standards and labor protections.
