It’s Fire Prevention Week!Protect Your Family From Fire!
Sunday-Saturday, Oct. 7-13
CoMMeMoRaTING a CoNflaGRaTIoN
Fire Prevention Week was established to com-memorate the Great Chica-go Fire, the tragic 1871 con-flagration that killed more than 250 people, left 100,000 homeless, destroyed more than 17,400 structures and burned more than 2,000 acres. The fire began on Oct. 8, but continued into and did most of its damage on Oct. 9, 1871.
According to popular legend, the fire broke out after a cow belonging to Mrs. Catherine O’Leary kicked over a lamp, setting first the barn, then the whole city on fire. Chances are you’ve heard some ver-sion of this story yourself; people have been blaming the Great Chicago Fire on the cow and Mrs. O’Leary for more than 130 years. But recent research by Chi-cago historian Robert Cro-mie has helped to debunk
this version of events.
THe ‘Moo’ MyTHLike any good story, the
“case of the cow” has some truth to it. The great fire almost certainly started near the barn where Mrs. O’Leary kept her five milk-ing cows. But there is no proof that O’Leary was in the barn when the fire broke out or that a jumpy cow sparked the blaze. Mrs. O’Leary herself swore that she’d been in bed early that night, and that the cows were also tucked in for the evening.
But if a cow wasn’t to blame for the huge fire, what was? Over the years, journalists and historians have offered plenty of theories. Some blamed the blaze on a couple of neigh-borhood boys who were near the barn sneaking cigarettes. Others believed that a neighbor of the O’Leary’s may have started
the fire. Some people have speculated that a fiery meteorite may have fallen to earth on Oct. 8, starting several fires that day in Michigan and Wisconsin, as well as in Chicago.
BIGGeST Blaze THaT WeekWhile the Great Chicago
Fire was the best-known blaze to start during this fiery two-day stretch, it wasn’t the biggest. That distinction goes to the Peshtigo Fire, the most devastating forest fire in American history. The fire, which also occurred on Oct. 8, 1871, and roared through northeast Wis-consin, burning down 16 towns, killing 1,152 people, and scorching 1.2 million acres before it ended.
Historical accounts of the fire say the blaze began when several railroad workers clearing land for tracks unintentionally started a brush fire. Before
long, the fast-moving flames were whipping through the area “like a tornado,” some survivors said. It was the small town of Peshtigo, Wis., that suf-fered the worst damage. Within an hour, the entire town had been destroyed.
eIGHT deCadeS of fIRe pReveNTIoN
Those who survived the Chicago and Peshtigo fires never forgot what they’d been through; both blazes produced countless tales of bravery and heroism. But the fires also changed the way that firefighters and public officials thought about fire safety. On the 40th anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire, the Fire Marshals Association of North America (today known as the Interna-tional Fire Marshals Association), decided that the anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire should
henceforth be observed not with festivities, but in a way that would keep the public informed about the importance of fire preven-tion. The commemoration grew incrementally official over the years.
In 1920, President Wood-row Wilson issued the first National Fire Prevention Day proclamation, and since 1922, Fire Prevention Week has been observed on the Sunday through Saturday period in which Oct. 9 falls.
According to the Nation-al Archives and Records Administration’s Library Information Center, Fire Prevention Week is the lon-gest running public health and safety observance on record. The president of the United States has signed a proclamation proclaiming a national ob-servance during that week every year since 1925.
