Travis is using the web below to organize his idea for his essay about the 1871 Chicago fire after reading The Great Fire by Jim Murphy. A circle is labeled Great Chicago Fire. 3 circles are connected to this main circle. The first is labeled What happened? The second is labeled What were the causes? The third is labeled What were the effects? Which detail belongs in the causes area of the web?

Answer and Explanation:

1. The fire of 1871 happened in Chigago and it was a fire of very large proportions, almost uncontrollable that almost took over the entire city, but even so it caused very serious damage. The fire started in a stable in the south of the city.

2. The fire occurred in the summer when Chicago was experiencing a dry spell with almost no rainfall whatsoever, which left the environment arid, dry and fire-prone. when the fire started in the stable, the wind with low humidity managed to spread the flames throughout the city with an impressive speed.

3. as a result, the fire left 300 people dead, and destroyed an enormous number of homes, leaving around 95 thousand people homeless and caused an economic loss of about two hundred million dollars. However, after the fire, an infrastructure project was created that allowed Chicago to become an architectural landmark.

4. When firefighters were called, they got confused and sent the fire trucks to another place, which delayed the containment of the fire and contributed to its spread.
