Fire Prevention Week
Since 1922 fire departments have promoted Fire Prevention Week with the goal of providing awareness on how to stay safe in case of a fire. Fire Prevention Week commemorates the Great Chicago Fire (October 8 to 10, 1871). The fire caused devastating damage, killing approximately 300 people, and leaving more than 100,000 people homeless. It also destroyed more than 17,000 structures, and destroyed over 2,000 acres of land.
