Effect

The flames started to spread all over the building, and made a big disaster.

There is also higher security in school and work. There are many things that can happen. The Triangle Fire Factory did make a big difference in safety laws. Also, if the fire in New York would of mot happend then the safety laws would be much different. The owners of The Traingle Factory also had other factories and it was hard for them to keep track for all there workers. The owners were not really responsible about all there factory's.
