Fires in History
Firefighting
In Colonial America
In January 1608, a devastating fire destroyed most of the colonists'
provisions and lodgings. Smith made a concise assessment of the
situation: "I begin to think that it is safer for me to
dwell in the wild Indian country than in this stockade, where
fools accidentally discharge their muskets and others burn down
their homes at night."
The Great
Chicago Fire and the Web of Memory
The Chicago Historical Society retells the story of Mrs. O'Leary's

Story
of an Eyewitness
Collier's, May 5, 1906. Jack London went to the scene of the
San Francisco Fire & Earthquake and wrote the following dramatic
description of the tragic events he witnessed in the burning
city.
Other Ideas
Measure rooms and make a floor plan of your home, adding arrows
to show where to get out of each room fastest in case of fire.
Plan where to meet outside.
Test combustibility of various scraps in a fireplace or barbeque.
Note speed it catches, color and odor of smoke. Stress safety
and that such "experiments" are only to be done with
a parent present.
Create a home video where you and your brothers and sisters
and friends act out the roles of children behaving correctly
and incorrectly around fire.
Art: crayon resist. On heavy paper, scribble patches with
yellow and orange and red crayons. Then color with black all
over it. Use various sharp instruments to scratch away the black
crayon. Stress that though fire is bright, the smoke makes everything
real dark.
Music: Learn the round "Scotland's Burning." --
words and actions.

Fire, Fire! Fire, Fire! (Wave hands in the air vigorously.)
Pour on water. Pour on water. (Imitate pouring bucket of water
