The Standard Guide to Chicago For the Year 1891
The fire department of Chicago is generally acknowledged to be the best equipped and most efficient in the United States, which means that it is the best equipped and most efficient in the world, for the firemen of this country are called upon to be prepared for and to meet emergencies which do not arise in the cities of Europe.
The Great Fire of 1871 not included since it was only one fire and would skew the chart. 1875 is for nine months ending 31 December 1875
