Throughout America's history, we have been plaqued by terrible fires. The fire at Chicago's Iroquois Theater on December 30, 1903 was one of the worst. Over 600 patrons lost their lives and many of them were women and children. It is still the worst theater fire in U.S. history.
This blog is dedicated to all those who died on that fateful day. They claimed that the theater was fireproof, and for the most part, it was. But that was only the building. The fixtures, seats, stage props and all the other items such as the curtains, etc., were not. Like calling the Titanic "unsinkable", calling any building "fireproof" is very dangerous.
