Chicago Union Stock Yards fire

1910 – 1910

The Chicago Union Stock Yards fire occurred from December 22 to December 23, 1910, in Chicago, resulting in the deaths of twenty-one Chicago Fire Department firemen. Until the September 11 attacks, the fire was the deadliest building collapse in American history, although the Texas City Disaster of 1947 killed more firefighters overall. It remains the worst such incident in Chicago history.
