The Cocoanut Grove fire claimed more than 490 lives in total and led to many changes in fire safety laws. On the night of November 28th, 1942, over 1000 revelers packed themselves into the Cocoanut Grove nightclub for what was meant to be a fun night of entertainment. Sadly the party atmosphere would instead turn to one of terror as a fire ripped through building.
