Excerpt from Great Chicago Fire Lance Carson
4 The attempts to stop the fire were unsuccessful. The mayor had even called surrounding cities for help, but by that point
the fire was simply too large to contain. When the fire destroyed the waterworks, just north of the Chicago River, the city's
water supply was cut off, and the firefighters were forced to give up.
