BEFORE THE FIRE…..
![Page 4: THE GREAT CHICAGO FIRE OCTOBER 8-10, 1871. Bell-ringer 1) What do you already KNOW about the Great Chicago Fire? 2) What do you WANT TO KNOW about the.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649c9d5503460f9495d27a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Chicago had grown steadily before the fire…
here is the city in 1820,1854, and 1857
![Page 5: THE GREAT CHICAGO FIRE OCTOBER 8-10, 1871. Bell-ringer 1) What do you already KNOW about the Great Chicago Fire? 2) What do you WANT TO KNOW about the.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649c9d5503460f9495d27a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
By the 1860s, Chicago was a bustling city, known for numerous businesses and a busy port
![Page 6: THE GREAT CHICAGO FIRE OCTOBER 8-10, 1871. Bell-ringer 1) What do you already KNOW about the Great Chicago Fire? 2) What do you WANT TO KNOW about the.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649c9d5503460f9495d27a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
By 1871, on the eve of the Great Chicago Fire, Chicago was also a sizable city with over
300,000 people
![Page 7: THE GREAT CHICAGO FIRE OCTOBER 8-10, 1871. Bell-ringer 1) What do you already KNOW about the Great Chicago Fire? 2) What do you WANT TO KNOW about the.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649c9d5503460f9495d27a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
So…why was Chicago almost destined to have a huge fire?
• Buildings, bridges, sidewalks, and just about everything else was made out of wood
• Hay and tar roofs made the city even more flammable
• The summer and fall had been dry and hot, with very little rain
![Page 8: THE GREAT CHICAGO FIRE OCTOBER 8-10, 1871. Bell-ringer 1) What do you already KNOW about the Great Chicago Fire? 2) What do you WANT TO KNOW about the.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649c9d5503460f9495d27a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The day before the Great Chicago Fire, there had been another huge fire; it held the record for
Chicago’s biggest fire…..for ONE DAY
![Page 9: THE GREAT CHICAGO FIRE OCTOBER 8-10, 1871. Bell-ringer 1) What do you already KNOW about the Great Chicago Fire? 2) What do you WANT TO KNOW about the.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649c9d5503460f9495d27a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The firemen were very tired from fighting this fire, which would make them slower to respond when a
huge fire broke out again on October 8
![Page 10: THE GREAT CHICAGO FIRE OCTOBER 8-10, 1871. Bell-ringer 1) What do you already KNOW about the Great Chicago Fire? 2) What do you WANT TO KNOW about the.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649c9d5503460f9495d27a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
On Sunday night, OCTOBER 8, 1871…..The GREAT CHICAGO FIRE broke out in Mrs. O’Leary’s barn
![Page 11: THE GREAT CHICAGO FIRE OCTOBER 8-10, 1871. Bell-ringer 1) What do you already KNOW about the Great Chicago Fire? 2) What do you WANT TO KNOW about the.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649c9d5503460f9495d27a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The barn was located on DeKoven Street
near Jefferson and Taylor
![Page 12: THE GREAT CHICAGO FIRE OCTOBER 8-10, 1871. Bell-ringer 1) What do you already KNOW about the Great Chicago Fire? 2) What do you WANT TO KNOW about the.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649c9d5503460f9495d27a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Did a cow kick over a lantern?
![Page 13: THE GREAT CHICAGO FIRE OCTOBER 8-10, 1871. Bell-ringer 1) What do you already KNOW about the Great Chicago Fire? 2) What do you WANT TO KNOW about the.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649c9d5503460f9495d27a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
That’s what the legend says….but it might just have been a story created by newspaper men
![Page 14: THE GREAT CHICAGO FIRE OCTOBER 8-10, 1871. Bell-ringer 1) What do you already KNOW about the Great Chicago Fire? 2) What do you WANT TO KNOW about the.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649c9d5503460f9495d27a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
On the day that the fire started, there was a watchman at the top of
the city’s Courthouse
![Page 15: THE GREAT CHICAGO FIRE OCTOBER 8-10, 1871. Bell-ringer 1) What do you already KNOW about the Great Chicago Fire? 2) What do you WANT TO KNOW about the.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649c9d5503460f9495d27a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Here is what he would have seen to the NORTH and EAST of the Courthouse
![Page 16: THE GREAT CHICAGO FIRE OCTOBER 8-10, 1871. Bell-ringer 1) What do you already KNOW about the Great Chicago Fire? 2) What do you WANT TO KNOW about the.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649c9d5503460f9495d27a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Here is what he would have seen to the SOUTH and WEST
![Page 17: THE GREAT CHICAGO FIRE OCTOBER 8-10, 1871. Bell-ringer 1) What do you already KNOW about the Great Chicago Fire? 2) What do you WANT TO KNOW about the.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649c9d5503460f9495d27a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
When he saw a fire burning to the south and west, he set off the alarm, and firemen raced to fight the
fire….but he misjudged where the fire was, and they went to a place a mile away
![Page 18: THE GREAT CHICAGO FIRE OCTOBER 8-10, 1871. Bell-ringer 1) What do you already KNOW about the Great Chicago Fire? 2) What do you WANT TO KNOW about the.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649c9d5503460f9495d27a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
DURING
THE FIRE...
![Page 19: THE GREAT CHICAGO FIRE OCTOBER 8-10, 1871. Bell-ringer 1) What do you already KNOW about the Great Chicago Fire? 2) What do you WANT TO KNOW about the.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649c9d5503460f9495d27a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
At first the people did not panic because they saw so many fires; but when they realized how big it
was, THEY RAN FOR THEIR LIVES
![Page 20: THE GREAT CHICAGO FIRE OCTOBER 8-10, 1871. Bell-ringer 1) What do you already KNOW about the Great Chicago Fire? 2) What do you WANT TO KNOW about the.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649c9d5503460f9495d27a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Chicago burned!
![Page 21: THE GREAT CHICAGO FIRE OCTOBER 8-10, 1871. Bell-ringer 1) What do you already KNOW about the Great Chicago Fire? 2) What do you WANT TO KNOW about the.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649c9d5503460f9495d27a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Why did the fire spread so quickly?
• The watchman misjudged the location of the fire, and that wasted time
• Firemen were exhausted from fighting the fire that took place the night before
• There were 20 mile per hour winds
• All the dry wood everywhere gave the fire lots of things on which to feed
![Page 22: THE GREAT CHICAGO FIRE OCTOBER 8-10, 1871. Bell-ringer 1) What do you already KNOW about the Great Chicago Fire? 2) What do you WANT TO KNOW about the.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649c9d5503460f9495d27a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Fleeing across the river did not help, since the fire followed, destroying bridges and
almost everything else in its path
![Page 23: THE GREAT CHICAGO FIRE OCTOBER 8-10, 1871. Bell-ringer 1) What do you already KNOW about the Great Chicago Fire? 2) What do you WANT TO KNOW about the.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649c9d5503460f9495d27a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

It would eventually burn its way as far north as Fullerton Avenue,
destroying an area FOUR MILES LONG and ONE MILE WIDE

Mass panic began as people realized the fire was spreading
further and further

Not everyone panicked; some people just calmly
left the city
• This drawing was made by a boy named Justin showing how his family marched out of Chicago
• He’s the one leading the goat

300 people died, and over 90,000 (about 1/3 of the city’s population)
were left homeless

Some fled to Lincoln Park, which had recently been a cemetery, or jumped into the lake for cover

The fire finally ran out of things to burn, and rain put out the remaining flames…but Chicago was a mess!
![Page 32: THE GREAT CHICAGO FIRE OCTOBER 8-10, 1871. Bell-ringer 1) What do you already KNOW about the Great Chicago Fire? 2) What do you WANT TO KNOW about the.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649c9d5503460f9495d27a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

THE NIXON BUILDINGat the northeast corner of Monroe and LaSalle.
• After the disaster it was adorned with the inscription, "This fireproof building is the only one in the city that successfully stood the test of the Great Fire of October 9, 1871.“
• It was made partly of iron and brick, which might have helped save it.

The nation tried to help Chicago
• Why? Because other places had also experienced tragedy in their histories….AND
• More importantly, Chicago was a growing city with businesses such as meatpacking that impacted the whole country
