60th Anniversary of Our Lady of the Angels Fire-- Part 7: The Aftermath


The only positive that came out of the fire was the changes made to the fire protection system requiring the inclusion of sprinklers in all schools, the fire alarms required to be hooked up to local fire departments, building materials changing from flammable to non-flammable materials such as concrete to replace wood and plaster.

Fire drills are held and students are trained what they need to do in case of fire.  Teachers are required to account for all their students.

There has not been another school fire  in which more than ten students have died since the Out Lady of the Angels fire in 1958.
