Orange flames lit the sky. Smoke rose higher and higher, blacker and<br />blacker. It was October 8, 1871, the day of the Great Chicago Fire. How did this<br />disaster begin? No one was sure, but most people blamed Mrs. O'Leary's cow. Mrs.<br />O'Leary went to her barn that night to milk her cow. The cow kicked over a lamp,<br />and the barn began to burn. Soon, other buildings began to burn too. Many of them<br />were wooden buildings, and they were very dry. More and more buildings burned.<br />There was a very strong wind, and flames crossed the Chicago River and moved<br />farther and farther north. Hotels burned, banks burned, theaters, stores and<br />prisons burned. Millions of dollars, thousands of buildings, and hundreds of<br />people. Gone. But Chicago did not die. Near the lake and to the south, some<br />buildings did not burn. It still had its railroads and ports. The people built<br />new homes, new stores. The city went on growing. Today, Chicago has more than<br />three million people and hundreds of tall buildings. The old water tower did<br />not burn in the fire, and it is still on Michigan Avenue.
