Historians agree that on Sunday evening, October 8, 1871, the Chicago Fire did indeed start in the barn of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick and Catherine O’Leary. While the blaze ironically spared the O'Leary home, located on the city's West Side at 137 De Koven Street, much of the rest of Chicago was not so fortunate. Before the fire died out in the early morning of Tuesday, October 10, it had cut a swath through Chicago approximately three and one-third square miles in size. Property valued at $192,000,000 was destroyed, 100,000 people were left homeless, and 300 people lost their lives.

How Much Time Do You Have to Save Your Horses?
• Straw reaches a burning temperature of 300oF in one to five minutes.
• It is a material that develops as much heat at the same rate as gasoline.
• It takes two to three minutes for a straw fire to burn an area 10-feet in diameter.
![Page 14: “One dark night, when people were in bed, Mrs. O’ Leary ... Presentation 2007 Barn Fire Prevention.pdf · “One dark night, when people were in bed, Mrs. O’ Leary lit a lantern](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022041801/5e5124545b66c173a96b3d1f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
How Fast Will Fire Injure Your Horse?
• At only 4-feet in diameter, most horses are injured.
• By 6-foot diameter the lungs are seared.
• By 8-foot diameter the horse will start to suffocate.
• By 10-feet diameter, the horse is dead.
All of this occurs in two to three minutes. If the horse is to survive, he must be removed from the stall within 30-seconds.

Stages of FireStages of Fire
• Smoldering or Incipient Phase– Variable is length (minutes to hours)– Greatest chance of being controlled
![Page 17: “One dark night, when people were in bed, Mrs. O’ Leary ... Presentation 2007 Barn Fire Prevention.pdf · “One dark night, when people were in bed, Mrs. O’ Leary lit a lantern](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022041801/5e5124545b66c173a96b3d1f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Stages of FireStages of Fire
• Flame Eruption– EXTREMELY DANGEROUS– EXTREMELY UNPREDICTABLE– Rapid Growth– Intense Heat Production
*It only takes a few minutes after flame eruption for ceiling temperatures to exceed 1800oF*

Stages of FireStages of Fire
• Flash Point– Often can occur in 3- to 5-minutes– Hot air temperatures simultaneously ignite all
combustibles within the space– Building structure most likely destroyed
*Survivability within the structure has been lost*

Stages of FireStages of Fire
• Burn Out– All fuel sources have been exploited– BUT not all fuel sources have been burned
• Re-Kindle– Impervious fuel sources can remain unburned
and continue to smolder– Another visit from the fire company

Rating systems for building materialsRating systems for building materialsComparison of material to standards (concrete & red oak)
Flame spread – Lower rating, longer it will take flames to spread the
fireSmoke development
– Lower rating improves visibility, decreases noxious gases, decreases fire progression through smoke particles and hot gases
Fire rating – How long (minutes) material contains fire– Longer the progression, the greater chance rescue
and fire suppression efforts will have at being successful
