Summary:This is a story about the Chicago fire in 1871. It quotes several personal accounts by survivors that escaped their burning neighborhoods in the midst of mass hysteria, extraordinary firsthand descriptions of bugging out. It was interesting and engaging and I learned a little about history.
Survival Theme: Escape a burning city in the midst of mass hysteria.
Prepper ideas after reading this book: Add burn cream to bug out bag, the importance of a light-weight bug out bag, and the importance of having meet-up places if separated inside & outside city limits.
