Answer:

Dear Editor, The terrible factory fire was made worse by crowded working conditions and an unsafe building. Too many workers were packed into the factory, and the building did not have enough safe exits or effective fire-prevention measures. Weak or poorly enforced fire codes allowed these dangerous conditions to continue. The tragedy shows that workers need health and safety laws that require safe buildings, clear exits, fire drills, and reasonable working conditions. Progressive reformers should push for stronger labor laws and strict fire-code enforcement. Factory owners should be required to inspect buildings, install sprinklers and alarms, and provide better firefighting equipment. Workers and their families should also receive compensation for injuries and deaths caused by unsafe workplaces. These reforms would help protect workers and prevent another disaster like this fire. Sincerely, A Concerned Citizen
