Line 1: − [[image:CWhist1.jpg|thumb |right| Aftermath of the Collinwood School Fire]]+ − On [[Ash Wednesday]], March 4th 1908, 172 students, teachers and a rescuer we killed in Collinwood, [[Ohio]], now part of [[Cleveland]]. Started by a steam pipe overheating a wooden joist, it quickly spread because of a long, main staircase which lead to the third floor. − The building contained a brick exterior. Its interior was made almost entirely of combustible wooden materials -- stairs, walls, floors, doors, and roof. Moreover, the floors had been coated many times with flammable oils. − − It was originally thought that the students were unable to escape because the doors of the school opened inward. [[Panic]] was the cause of so many dying in the stairwell. Some children burned or jumped as parents watched, helpless to save them. − − Nineteen students could not be identified and the City of Collinwood purchased a grave in Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland for these children. − − This tragedy caused the improvement of [[fire code]]s across the nation according to the website ''Dead Ohio''.[http://www.deadohio.com/collinwood.htm] − [[category:United States History]] − [[Category:Ohio]]
