The owner of the factory is at fault because there wasn't enough water to put out the fire and there was a cartoon of the owner locking workers in the factory. They need to provide a better working condition.

The Chief . He Could Have provided A better Work Environment For The Workers . he Could Have Had Fire Equipment There Such As Non-Flamible Clothing , Water Or Fire Extinguishers .

I think its the owner of the factory, not the workers. Why? because if the workers had a firs extinguisher to put out the fire maybe the factory would not had gotten on fire and made many people died. SO it's the owners fault.

I think it was the factory owners fault, not the workers. It was the owners fault because if the workers had better working conditions the fire might not have happened. If they also had fire extinguishers they could have put the fire out when it started and if they had better fire escapes the people could have gotten away safe. Thats why its the owners fault.

, i think that its the owner fault because they should of took better care of the people and should of made the work place better an safe. the owner should of had more then one fire escape and it should nopt have been blocked. the owner should of had more water in the sprinkler to try to stop the fire from geting bigger. to pervent the fire from happening the owner could of put water in the sprinkler.

I think the people who owned the factory was the reason for the fire. I think they should have had less people working there and also better air

Fred said...

The owner of the factories is responsible for all the damage that have been done at the triangle shirtwaist fire because he build his building and say that it is fire proof and wouldn't burn down. Like if he see any fire proof building that wouldn't burn down before. They could have provide a better working condition to prevent to accident from happening.

priscilla said...

I think the factory owner and the fire department are responsible for the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire.I think the factory owner is responsible because they didn't have a fire extinguisher there in case of a fire and they made them work in those horrible conditions.I think the fire department is responsible for the fire because they didn't check and make sure the fire escape was up to code.If they checked to make sure that they had a fire extinguisher and that they checked to make sure that the fire escape worked the fire could have been prevented.

I think it was the owner of the factory because he had the factory to high and didn't care about his workers.Also To Prevent the fire from happen he could of had it on a lower floor. By Naeemah

the factory owner was the person who is responsible
he didn't have the fire escape open

Markeeda said...

I think that the owners were too blame for this fire because they knew how bad the working conditions were but they really didn't do nothing. Also because they kept the fire door close. They could have moved the machines away from eachother and they should have opened the fire door escape.

I think it was the owner fault, because he wanted the factory to get on fire.So the factory can be burned down and the owner can get money from insurance.
