The Cocoanut Grove Night Club Fire 28 November 1942 was the second largest mortality fire in US history. At that time, there were few existing fire safety regulations, which were largely ignored. The fire lasted less than 25 minutes, killed 492 including 51 active duty military on their way to Europe and WWII. But subsequently many fire safety regulations resulted as well as 5 monumental medical advances including the first in the civilian world use of Penicillin - a “Phoenix out of Ashes.” But to date too often the lessons learned have been ignored and/or forgotten.
