how did the triangle shirtwaist factory fire start

Sagot :

Answer:

On March 25, a Saturday afternoon, there were 600 workers at the factory when a fire began in a rag bin. The manager attempted to use the fire hose to extinguish it, but was unsuccessful, as the hose was rotted and its valve was rusted shut.

Explanation:

So one person was using a rag and had wiped up oil with the rag. Without knowing it, there was an electrical wire sticking out of the wall that was poking through one of the holes in the rag bin. When the person threw the rag in the bin, It happened to land in the right spot to be touching the electrical wire. The rag started on fire and spread.
