8h 2min, oct 9, 1871 y - Firemen and Civilians Start Destroying Buildings

Description:

As the fire kept roaring firemen and civilians came up with a plan to start blowing up buildings so the fire couldn't spread. This prevented the fire from reaching other buildings and made a barricade of nothing to stop fueling the fire.


'Thomas D. Foster, 1871, Recollection. Abakanowicz Research Center. Chicago History Museum.
