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"-- Audience:  Ages 8 to 12.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Kaimuki Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 977.31104 Pa WhatWas Checked out 06/27/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 977.31104 Pa   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 977.31104 Pa   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
