How...
- Did the fire start?
- Did the fire stop?
1. How did the Fire start?
The fire started because of the dry weather and smaller fires that had been happening days, even weeks before the actual Peshtigo fire occurred. Also, that same dry weather caused the Great Chicago Fire as well, on the same day!
2. How did the fire Stop?
The Peshtigo fire stopped eventually, just not right after it struck. No one really knows how the fire completely stopped, but by the Monday morning of October 9th, the fire had disappeared, just as quickly as it had started.
