Chicago history

The Great Chicago Fire was a conflagration that burned from Sunday, October 8, to Tuesday, October 10, 1871. The fire killed up to 300 people, destroyed roughly 3.3 square miles of Chicago, Illinois, and left more than 100,000 residents homeless. So I found that information on Google and just reading it sounded like torture. The whole city was on fire 🔥 and it wasn’t on fire for an 1 hour. Or 5 hours Or even A DAY WHICH IS 24 HOURS. The Great Chicago FiremWent On For 2 Days Straight!!
