Description
This uncommon map of Chicago’s Loop and adjacent areas provides a detailed overview of the local fire prevention infrastructure. Hydrants, cisterns, and water mains are noted, in addition to the specific capabilities of individual fire stations and companies. Urban conflagrations were greatly reduced during the Progressive Era thanks to improved building codes, new technologies, and fire-resistant construction materials.
