2021 marked the 150th anniversary of the fire! It started in a barn, and two days of flaming hell later, nearly destroyed a city. In the Essential Great Chicago Fire, magician, storyteller, and author William Pack weaves together technical details of the fire with vivid firsthand accounts from those who lived through the conflagration of 1871, bringing alive all the excitement and terror in a multi-media storytelling event that will not soon be forgotten.
