from The Great Fire

The Great Fire is about the many things that went wrong as the fire started to spread through the city of Chicago. Even the local newspaper ignored the rash of fires. Imagine that you are an editor for the Chicago Tribune in the days before the Chicago Fire. You want to write a story about the recent fires and to warn people of the dangers ahead. Write a news article about the fires and your recommendations for keeping people safe. Include imaginary quotations from eyewitnesses to the recent fires and imaginary facts about the locations of the fires.
