After the fire at Our Lady of the Angels, state regulations required that there had to be fire alarm street boxes no more than {{convert|100|ft}} from the front of the building. The General Assembly of Illinois also passed [[life safety code]]s in response to the fire at Our Lady of the Angels. Things such as more control over waste disposal, proper storage of combustible supplies, more frequent fire drills, and inspections were put in place.<ref name="Teague">{{cite web |last1=Teague |first1=Paul |title=Case Histories: Fires Influencing the Life Safety Code |website=nfpa.org |url=http://www.nfpa.org/~/media/Files/forms%20and%20premiums/101%20handbook/NFP101HB09_CHS1.pdf |access-date=November 4, 2020 |archive-date=2015-04-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402110941/http://www.nfpa.org/~/media/Files/forms%20and%20premiums/101%20handbook/NFP101HB09_CHS1.pdf |url-status=live}}</ref> Other reforms triggered by  the fire include the city of Chicago modifying the Municipal Building Code of Chicago, affecting fire safety of schools as well as other buildings with two or more stories.<ref name="History"/> 

To prevent fires and deaths caused by fires, schools must have an evacuation plan in place, and make sure that all the proper fire alarms and warnings work. Teachers must take charge of the situation and act as leaders. Teachers should also consider the number of students that they have, and the need for enough space and time to get all of the students out quickly and safely. Teachers should also be alert to the causes of fires, in order to try and stop them from happening.<ref name= "fire drills">{{cite web |last1=National Fire Protection Association |title=Fire Drills at School |website=nfpa.org |url=http://www.nfpa.org/safety-information/for-public-educators/education-programs/learn-not-to-burn/learn-not-to-burn-grade-1/fire-drills-at-school |access-date=October 28, 2014 |archive-date=July 27, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140727140010/http://www.nfpa.org/safety-information/for-public-educators/education-programs/learn-not-to-burn/learn-not-to-burn-grade-1/fire-drills-at-school |url-status=live }}</ref>
