    How the Great Chicago Fire started will forever be a mystery. I know what started it, it was natural causes because it's hard to believe that a person with a peg leg could run 250ft in the time that he said he ran. Also Mrs. O'Leary couldn't have milked her cow in the middle of the night with no light but a lantern. The lantern is a fire hazard because you had to light it with fire.

    When someone mentions the Great Chicago Fire most people just think of the cow that tipped over the oil lantern, but there was really a lot more to it. 18,000 wood buildings were destroyed, 100,000 people were left homeless, and 120 bodies were found but it is estimated that about 300 people died.

Recently there has been an increase in wildfires, almost as if there was a dragon flying around starting fires. In Beowulf, the author states on Page…
