Chicago Fire of 1874
edit
... that the Chicago Fire of 1874 (pictured) led the nation's fire insurers to declare Chicago's businesses uninsurable?
- ALT1:... that the Chicago Fire of 1874 (pictured) helped lead to the establishment of the city's "Black Belt" on the South Side?
- ALT2:... that the Chicago Fire of 1874 (pictured) led to the reorganizing of the city's fire department along military lines?
- Comment: I've been handling the cleanup, but really a large portion of the content here is not my work, but the work of students participating in Wikipedia:Meetup/Chicago/ChicagoUniversities.

This article is new enough and long enough. I have struck the first hook because I don't think it is exactly made out in the article (no "declaration" is mentioned). The other two hooks have inline citations and are acceptable and I prefer ALT2. The image is in the public domain but is rather obscure at thumbnail size. The article is neutral and my spotchecks did not bring up any close paraphrasing issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:20, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
