The MGM Grand Hotel Disaster
🕑 Added 2021-09-14 10:15:00 +0000 UTCOne of the most useful sources for researching this story was the official incident report, compiled by the Clark County Fire Department. Here it is as a PDF that you can read online or download.
It contains a great deal of detail about the events which took place that day, including an explanation of the exact way in which the refrigerator which caused the fire malfunctioned.
The part that I found the most interesting, though, were the witness statement at the end. They really give a sense of what the disaster was like for some of the ordinary people involved. If you want to learn more about this disaster, I'd definitely recommend starting with these statements.

That's some good advice. Knowing where the exit is can make all the difference in an emergency.

This is a nightmare... Trapped by fire. I like the lower floors of hotels and my father always told me to study where all the exit doors were located.
