The Fountain Nightclub in Pittsburgh was the site of a tragic fire on May 22, 1970, which resulted in the deaths of 11 people and numerous injuries. The fire broke out during a performance by a band, and the combination of a crowded venue and inadequate exits contributed to the high casualty rate. The incident raised significant concerns about fire safety regulations in public spaces, leading to changes in safety codes in Pennsylvania and beyond.
