Answer: The fire led to legislation requiring improved factory safety standards and helped spur the growth of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union (ILGWU), which fought for better working conditions for sweatshop workers.
I'm pretty sure it started a bunch of reforms and laws that bettered working conditions, set work week hours to like 45hrs. You be much better off looking this up though.
Explanation:
The fire was caused by a cigarette when it came into contact with the floor because it was so dirty. (at least that's what I remember)
