The ignition source was apparently a cigarette.  But the fuel was 
fabric, lint, and oil.

Two or three ancestors of mine worked for Triangle Shirt in Baltimore, 
I have a 25-year pin that one received.  It is gold and emeralds, 
actually very nicely done.  One ancestor died in a fire in one of these 
sewing factories in Baltimore, I think in the 1890's, but I don't know 
if it was Triangle Shirt.  Apparently, the ancestors refused to buy 
newspapers for a week because of a fear of seing their brother, the 
newspapers were running pictures of people trapped behing the steel 
bars on the windows.  I also don't know if Traingle Shirtwaist and 
Triangle Shirt were one and the same company, but the names are 
certainly similar.  Triangle Shirtwaist was in New York.

But, the bottom line for me is that the joke about a candle is 
tasteless.  So, in the spirit of that joke, go burn in hell, not that I 
care particularily.
