Ep 89 - Fire In the Rubble: The Great San Francisco Fire

from Doomed to Fail · host Taylor Pineiro, Farz Sokhansanj

Ok! It's 5:13 am on April 18, 1906. The earthquake is over, a lot of people are dead or trapped in the rubble. Almost right away, dozens of fires start across the city - many are small in homes and can be put out immediately. But some, especially in places where the gas lines have ruptured, are out of control in minutes. In a city where many are trapped or injured, they now need to run for their lives to escape the flames. After four days of fire and a heroic stand by the SF Fire Department and the US Military - 80% of San Francisco will be gone.Join us for part two of San Francisco's worst day - the Fire.  Join our Founders Club on Patreon to get ad-free episodes for life! patreon.com/DoomedtoFailPodWe would love to hear from you!
