Great Chicago Fire. The Great Chicago Fire was a conflagration that burned from Sunday, October 8, to early Tuesday, October 10, 1871. The fire killed up to 300 people, destroyed roughly 3.3 square miles (9 km2) of Chicago, Illinois, and left more than 100,000 residents homeless.
As a result of the fire, the American Society of Safety Engineers was founded in New York City on October 14, 1911. The last living survivor of the fire was Rose Freedman, nÃ©e Rosenfeld, who died in Beverly Hills, California in 2001 at the age of 107.
