<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe fire started in a bakery shortly after midnight on Sunday September 2nd the fire was spreading rapidly. They started to use the best firefighting techniques they could, which are called fire breaks, but sadly the fire lasted 4 days. By the time large scale demolitions were ordered on Sunday night, the wind had already fanned the bakery fire into a large fire storm. There is no official death count, but the flames heat is believed to have been 2280 degrees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr.\u00a0Haponski<\/strong>\u00a0was asked about this historical event\u00a0and what he thinks caused the great fire. \u201cI would guess that the bakery caught on fire because the building and especially the kitchen would have been built largely of wood and other flammable materials and an open fire would have been used to bake goods. The building materials would also be the cause of the fire’s spread because of the amount of wood and straw within homes.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Jacob Sharon\u00a0<\/strong>was asked\u00a0about this tragic event and\u00a0what he thinks started the fire is \u201cI would guess that\u00a0their\u00a0was foul play involved. For example, someone may have been angry at the\u00a0bakery and set it on fire because they wanted to get back at them.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nowadays, businesses need to have products, materials and structures in place to prevent such a widespread fire <\/p>\n\n\n\n
