This Article was very interesting, it was pretty much a public service announcement by the new State Fire Marshall telling people how many fires their had been in factories and stores since he had taken over as the Marshall 8 months ago. There were 330 factory fires and 421 store fires. He gave some tips as well such as installing sprinklers in the factory to help to quell the fires before they start. Along with Chimney's needing to be tall enough to prevent live sparks from falling on the wooden roofs. They also stated that one of the most common of these causes of fires was spontaneous combustion and the solution for that was good housekeeping.
This article talked about a fire in a New York City factory that killed 50 people in Binghampton New york, they said the cause of the fire was a cigarette someone had lit. Only 2 people made it out without being injured, while 125 were in the factory at the time of the fire; 30 were injured and the rest were unaccounted for.
