There has been a tragic fire in a rowhouse on Elgin Avenue last night in Centerville.
The fire broke out at about 11:15 p.m. in the bottom floor of the rowhouse at 1121 Elgin Ave. It quickly spread to the second floor where three people were sleeping.
Neighbors saw the flames and called the fire department, which arrived at about a quarter to twelve. It took fire fighters about a half an hour to fully put out all the flames.
Fire marshal Jack Peterson said, “The three people sleeping upstairs were a mother and her two children. The three were rushed to St. Joseph’s Hospital suffering from burns and smoke inhalation.
Peterson says, “It appears the fire was started by an accelerant on the houses’ ground floor. Neighbors told investigators they
When the fire broke out, and the firefighters were signaled, they were sent to the wrong location. Unfortunately, back then the fire fighters were carriages with horses, so when they finally arrived to the correct location the fire already went crazy. The conflagration spread from east to north and burnt down wooden houses, commercial and industrial buildings, private
The Nov. 1, 2014 fire on Noyes Street was the deadliest fire in Portland in 40 years. Police said that the building owner, Gregory Nesbit, did not keep the residence up to code, including fire exits. The fire was accidental, and started by an improperly disposed smoking material on the porch. Prosecutors still believe Nesbit has some responsibility for the deaths.
The fire took place on March 25th, 1911. The source of the fire ignited in one of the trash bins on the eighth floor. The manager who was working that day tried to extinguish the fire with a fire extinguisher but was
The county fire marshal Alan Carson, saw the fire around 1.30 am and he defined the fire was a big one. Added that the weather and
Firefighters were dispatched to the residence after receiving a 6:15 a.m. call from Rogers, who reported the home she shared with her husband, Volley Rogers, was on fire, said Haun, noting that by the time they arrived it was apparent she did not make it out of the house.
Late last night in the 5800 block of North Hancock, gun fire erupted. Nine has been confirmed dead, while one victim has been transported to Edge Haven Medical Center for medical attention.
According to a statement issued by Wilson to USA TODAY, the concerned fire-fighters have necessarily witnessed graffiti on the building and investigators hold the opinion that arson might be the most likely cause. Minor damages have necessarily been caused to the exterior portion of the east side of the house and water and smoke seems to have affected the interior portion. As per the views held by Wilson, it appears as though fire had necessarily appeared at the base of the concerned east exterior wall. In fact; by the time fire-fighters had arrived, it was noticed that the flames had reached say approximately eight feet high on the two-story white frame house.
The Great Chicago Fire was a tragic event to happen in the city's history. While the cause of this major fire is unknown, Chicago's wood buildings and dry summer made the fire much worse. There are a few theories to how this fire started, but what is known for sure is that it started in the O'Leary's barn. This particular fire lasted two days and spread quickly. Firefighters were contacted, but were sent to the wrong place, causing chaos and delays as they tried to find the fire. By the time firefighters got there, the fire was spreading from house to house, already unmanageable. Before they knew it the fire had taken over the city. Within two days, the water tank in the city had run out of water. Luckily before the fire moved further, on October 10 1871, it was put out by nature's rain.
The fire started by campers thirty miles north of Winthrop in Okanogan National Forest in the Chewuch river valley. The fire was only 25 acres in size when twenty one Forest Service firefighters were dispatched to the fire.
No one really know how or when the fire started but, Legend has it that a cow kicked over a lantern in a barn and started the fire, but other theories hold that humans or even a meteor might have been responsible for the event for one that was a huge problem not knowing how it started but also the fact that no help was sent until after the fire had already started to spread. Neighbors tried contacting the fire department but called the wrong one so no help or warning was made before the disaster. The fire burned wildly throughout the following day, finally coming under control on October 10, when rain gave a needed boost to firefighting efforts. The Great Chicago Fire left an estimated 300 people dead and 100,000 others homeless. More than 17,000 structures were destroyed and damages were estimated at $200
It was finally under control on the morning of Tuesday, October 10, 1871 (“Chicago Fire of”). All people could see was “smoldering ruins for miles” (Warburton 24-47). Police set up morgues in places where buildings had been burned down to try to determine who had died (Warburton 24-47). Only 120 bodies were ever found, but more than 300 people were suspected to be lifeless (Warburton 24-47). Some bodies were too burned to even be identified (Warburton 24-47). Police also thought that people had drowned, trying to jump into Lake Michigan (Warburton 24-47).

Before the fire broke out on Sunday night, October 8, 1871 there had been a large drought causing everything to be dry and extremely flammable. Many fires had been breaking out in Chicago. Records show that in 1870 the fire
I think that people are being selfish and not thinking about the environment and these hydrothermal vents. Also the evidence for why mining near hydrothermal vents is much stronger than why it’s beneficial. People say it’s beneficial because there’s no acid mine drainage, or that mining does not affect active black smokers and lastly, that the sulfide deposits are on the seafloor so there is not any waste rock piles. Many people believe that the hydrothermal vent creatures could be what the early life had evolved from. Comparing these weak evidence about why mining near hydrothermal vents is beneficial to why it is not good is hilarious. People mine for gold, silver, copper, zinc and lead from hydrothermal vents deposits. It may be an easier
Colonialism causes many controversial discussions about whether or not some civilizations were stripped from their culture by others. New people coming to a different civilizations bring new ideas and more trade, but there are negatives that come, too. A village develops a culture over time, and then when new people come in with new religions and ways of life, everything changes. There is evidence that supports both sides of the argument, but more that supports the side that clans were stripped from their culture. In Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, he shows how the Igbo culture was stripped of its originality when the Europeans came in and took over. This has negative effects on the main character in the book. He is left feeling like he has nothing to stand for because it has all been taken away, and it eventually drives him to kill himself.
