1.One of the most wellknown fires in history was the Great Fire of London.This took place in 1996,and destroyed almost the whole city.The fire started in the house of the king’s baker（烘炉）,John Farynor,at two o’clock on the morning of September 2nd.Farynor lived in a narrow,crowded street,where all the houses were made of wood,so the fire spread very quickly.The city was on fire for five days.By the time the fire had been put out,13,200 houses,88 churches,4 bridges,4 prisons and 400 streets had been destroyed.Amazingly,only six people lost their lives in the Great Fire of London.
2.Another wellknown fire was the Chicago fire of 1871.This started when a cow knocked over a burning lantern in a busy street.It had not rained in Chicago for a long time,and strong winds soon blew the frames all around the city.About 18,000 buildings were destroyed in this fire,250 people lost their lives,and 100,000 people lost their homes.
3.When a huge earthquake hit San Francisco in 1906,a number of fires broke out.The fires burned for three days,but firefighters could not fight them because the earthquake had destroyed the city’s water system.When the fire finally stopped burning,a huge part of the city had been destroyed.More than 700 lives and 25,000 buildings were lost in the San Francisco fires.
4.During the Second World War,many countries made use of fire as a weapon（武器） to fight their enemies.Some countries,including Britain,used special bombs（炸弹） called ‘incendiaries’ or ‘fire-bombs’.When a large number of these fire-bombs were dropped on a city at one time,huge fire-storms were created（造成）.These then swept through the city at high speed.As fire-storms could reach a temperature of around 1,000℃,they were extremely dangerous.Hundreds of thousands of people were killed by fire-bombs.
