In October of 1918 a very strong forest fire burned up a large portion of Northern Minnesota. At the time of the fire my Grandpa Arvid was around 5 years old. Although it’s called the Cloquet fire it was actually about 50 fires combined into a single event. The two major fires were the Cloquet-Duluth fire and the Moose Lake fire. Dry conditions, strong winds, and lumbering are 3 reasons why the fire was so out of control. Conditions were building for months. The summer of 1918 was extremely dry…

The Great Fire of Chicago Have you ever thought about how terrifying that nice, warm fire, in your house could actually be? The Chicago Fire was a very tragic event that happened in October of 1871. The Chicago Fire killed up to 300 people and also left around 100,000 people homeless. The fire had took down everything engulfing anything that it had touched. Every Single house, all the streets, and the sidewalks were all made up of wood and the fact that Chicago was super dry did not help at all.…

CHICAGO FIRE OF 1871 Chicago was a booming community with some of the finest and most modern building in the country, 59,500 buildings to be exact. Although some of those building were built from stone or brick and proclaimed fireproof. “Chicago was, in fact, a city of wood… The nearby forests of Michigan and Wisconsin made that material both inexpensive and easily obtainable.” Around two- thirds of Chicago’s building and houses were made of flammable wood. On October 8, 1871 a disastrous fire…

not overlooked as she and her fellow district tribute, Peeta, ride into The Capitol. He does this by representing her district as something new, not the black dull coal district 12 is usually represented as but as fire. Sparking something big, transforming Katniss into the Girl on Fire. The tributes then go through training for the games. This training ends with the tributes given a number from 1 to 12 depending on what the gamemakers think their chances are of winning. These scores are then…

Gale Hawthorne is an ethical type of a person. He is the type of guy who has transformed from a person who had feelings for other human beings, to a person who wants revenge on the Capitol and leave no prisoners behind, due to the traumas he faced. Gales hatred for the capitol came after they bombed district 12, but he managed to saved 800 people. Getting revenge for something doesn’t mean necessarily killing them all or trying to bomb the capitol, but that’s the mindset that Gale has. He is…

I will be commenting on the following dilemma a fire chief than is working to serve his firefighters to protect the community versus a fire chief that works for the government to protect the community. I will indicate if this dilemma is true or false and why. Being a leader of a Fire service in any place in our modern world is no easy task with more and more being demanded from communities and less that governments want to provide the harder this task will become in the future. Through reading…

she survived many hard times during the games just like a “Mockingjay” would, hence Katniss’s nickname the Mockingjay. In addition, Katniss is called “The Girl On Fire”, once more she is not literally on fire (despite her costume made by Cinna) but she allied the districts, to go against the capitol, which is referred to as on “fire” because it was hard to do. Moreover, “The sun is a searing blade on my skin” the sun was not literally a blade, but it felt painful, therefore the metaphor “a…
