Factory fires

Between 1880 and 1925 3,985,061 people died in factory fires and there are many factors that caused all these deaths. One factor is that the factory wasn't ready for a fire there were no sprinklers on the roof(which were added later) and there were no fire extinguishers so when there was a fir there were no materials in the factory to help them put it out. Another problem that was occurring was because the factories were not prepared for fires the fires would often spread and even the fire escape would catch on fire so there was no way for people to escape.  Eventually factory fire laws came into existence, the factory fire laws fell into two classes the first one concerns the safe guarding of the worker and the second protects his life in case of sudden peril.
