Explore the intriguing origins of the Great Chicago Fire in this installment of the What Was? series, which delves into the events of October 8, 1871. It reveals how a long drought exacerbated the disaster, with firemen initially misdirected and fierce winds allowing the flames to spread. The narrative also covers the history of firefighting, culminating in a dramatic conclusion as rain finally extinguishes the relentless blaze after two tumultuous days.
