In his testimony before the Fire Department inquiry on November 25 , 1871 , Sullivan claimed he saw the fire coming through the side of the barn and ran across the street to free the animals from the barn, which included a cow owned by Sullivan's mother. A study of the layout of DeKoven Street , where the fire began, indicates that Sullivan would not have had a clear view of the fire from where he claimed to have been standing. In October 1997, the Chicago City Council recommended that Sullivan be recorded as the person who started the fire. EXTERNAL LINKS |
