The Great Chicago Fire

          The Great Chicago fire is probably the most famous fire that occurred within the past hundred years or so. This fire occurred on the evening of October 8, 1871. The summer of 1871 was unusually dry in Chicago. With all its wooden buildings, Chicago was kindling waiting to burn. Incidentally, the city of Chicago had finished building all of the downtown’s sidewalks out of wood right before the fire.

          This fire killed 300 people and destroyed more than 17,000 structures - over 2000 areas in 27 hours. The origin of the fire is uncertain, though popular legend attributes its origin to a woman named Mrs. O'Leary. Mrs. O'Leary was milking her cow at the start of the fire.

Legend has it that a farm animal kicked over her lamp, setting the barn on fire and starting the spread of one of the biggest fires in history. The fire destroyed the entire downtown core of Chicago and most of its North side.

The history of National Fire Prevention Week has it roots in the Great Chicago Fire. On the fire's 40th anniversary, the Fire Marshals Association of North America decided to commemorate it with something that would keep the public aware of the dangers of fire and the importance of fire prevention.
