17h 33min, oct 9, 1871 y - Extreme Temperatures of the Fire
Description:
Considering the size and sheer scale of the fire it is no surprise that the fire reached extremely hot temperatures. The fire became so hot that the brick of the buildings turned to ashes like it was wood. This left a complete wasteland of anything that was in the path of the fire.“The Great Fire,” Chicago Conflagration, October 11th, 1871
