Harmon, an employee of the Labor Department, inspected the factory about a month before the fire he was held up by the factory owners, so, as G.I. Harmon was asked; “...they had plenty of time to remedy any defects that existed temporarily while you were there?”1 He answered yes.

    On March 25, 1911, a Saturday afternoon, as the workday was coming to an end the Triangle Shirtwaist Companies factory in New York City burned, killing 145 workers.

The only remaining exit was a door to the Washington Place, but disappointingly it was mostly always locked; this allowed managers to check the women's purses at the end of every day to prevent theft of product, sewing thread, and other materials used to make the Shirtwaist.
