The Cornell Fire Department Business Line provides a comprehensive overview of the tragic Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire that occurred on March 25, 1911, in New York City. This catastrophic event resulted in the deaths of 146 workers, primarily young immigrant women, and highlighted the dire working conditions and inadequate safety measures of the time.

Through survivor accounts and eyewitness testimonies, the Cornell Fire Department Business Line sheds light on the struggles faced by the workers, many of whom were subjected to exploitation and had limited means to advocate for their rights.
