The Great Chicago fire was so bad that people where left homeless. And some people that day died in the fire and when the fire ended the people who died there family an friends could not tell who it was because they where all burned up. The fire burned for two days straight so it burned for 48 hours. And it didn't help that there where wooden houses so that mad the fire burn longer. So the government had to help pay for all the houses that got burned down to rebuild the new houses for all the homeless people. It destroyed almost everything that stood in the way. ''The great Chicago fire began in a barn at about 9 pm on October 8, 1871.The cause of the fire is still unknown.'' The great fire of Chicago was the biggest fire in the world.
