Monarch Underwear Co. fire

[Jim Eshelman]

March 19, 1958, 4:30 PM, New York City, starting on the third floor of the Monarch Underwear Co. and lasting an hour and a half. 24 people died, 15 injured (six of those from leaping from the building and missing safety nets). The location wasn't too far from that of the Triangle Shirtwaist Co. fire of 1911.

Altogether, a small fire, though newsworthy, with a couple of interesting charts though quite weak on the day itself.
