Answer: Heyaa!
"Legend has it that a cow kicked over a lantern in a barn and started the fire."
"Other theories hold that humans or even a meteor might have been responsible for the event that left an area of about four miles long and almost a mile wide of the Windy City, including its business district, in ruins."
Explanation: The actual definition:
The real blame for the enormous fire, which began on October 8, 1871, lies with a combination of perilous conditions: a long drought over a very hot summer, loosely enforced fire codes, and a sprawling city built almost entirely of wood. Yet Mrs. O'Leary and her cow took the blame in the public mind.
