Find out the truth in this addition to the What Was? series. On Sunday, October 8, 1871, a fire started on the south side of Chicago. A long drought made the neighborhood go up in flames. And practically everything that could go wrong did. Firemen first went to the wrong location. Fierce winds helped the blaze jump the Chicago River twice. The Chicago Waterworks burned down, making it impossible to fight the fire. Finally after two days, Mother Nature took over, with rain smothering the flames. This overview of a stupendous disaster not only covers the fire but explores the whole history of fire fighting"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aWhat was--? 606 $aGreat Fire, Chicago, Ill., 1871 615 0$aGreat Fire, Chicago, Ill., 1871. 676 $a977.311041 686 $aJNF025200$aJNF051160$2bisacsh 700 $aPascal$b Janet B.$01191643 702 $aPascal$b Janet B. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136693503321 996 $aWhat was the Great Chicago Fire$93876473 997 $aUNINA
