Need for Fire Insurance |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
| Fire insurance first developed during the late 1600s and grew along with the rise of crowded industrial cities, where small fires could quickly spread and cause extensive damage and destruction. In the great Chicago fire of 1871, depicted here, 10 sq km (4 sq mi) of central Chicago were destroyed by flames. | ||||||
