The great Chicago fire i have assignment on that what do this mean?​

The Great Chicago Fire was a conflagration that burned in the American city of Chicago during October 8–10, 1871. The fire killed approximately 300 people, destroyed roughly 3.3 square miles (9 km 2) of the city, and left more than 100,000 residents homeless. The fire began in a neighborhood southwest of the city center.

Step-by-step explanation:

Origin

The fire is claimed to have started at about 8:30 p.m. on October 8, in or around a small barn belonging to the O'Leary family that bordered the alley behind 137 DeKoven Street.

Spread

When firefighters finally arrived at DeKoven Street, the fire had grown and spread to neighboring buildings and was progressing toward the central business district.

Aftermath

Once the fire had ended, the smoldering remains were still too hot for a survey of the damage to be completed for many days. Eventually, the city determined that the fire destroyed an area about 4 miles (6 km) long and averaging ⁄4 miles (1 km) wide, encompassing an area of more than 2,000 acres (809 ha).
