The Great Fire

The fire in 1871 was one of the greatest disasters in American history. Overnight, the bustling city of Chicago became a wasteful country. Loss is so serious that few people believe that the city will rise again. It all began on Sunday night when there was a small fire in Allerie Barn. The first panic was slow. People ignored the danger signal and even the fire department could not find the fire. The streets are made of wood and are connected by roads and hundreds of miles of trees. Over time, under the influence of a stable wind, a violent flame swallowed everything halfway through. When a person entered a crowded street, hours of confusion, fear and panic continued before the cruel fire ceased. When they reached the end, the new drama has just begun. Approximately 100,000 people are homeless, looking for families in burnt rubble. By incorporating the actual survivor's personal account and carefully studying Chicago's history and catastrophe, Jim Murphy has created a persuasive story that dramatically and instantly reproduces the event. Finally, he reveals that the human spirit won, even in the deepest period of despair, as the Chicago people once again established the courage and strength of their own city.

The novel "big fire" is about the fire that happened in Chicago. The big fire began from the scorpion of O'Learys and lasted for 30 hours. Daniel Peggleg Sullivan first noticed the fire, but he ran to keep the cattle in the barn and told O'Reilly that their belongings were a fire. O'Learys' neighbor, William Lee, hurried to the pharmacy in a hurry, but the owner of the pharmacy Bruno Gore did not allow him because all the fire engines left. Lee returned to his house so that his children and his wife could go out. After Lee left the pharmacy, Gol insisted that he turned around, but the central warning did not issue any warning.
