舊金山大地震
1906年4月18日
因地震而引起的火災，在舊金山市區延燒了三天，而蓋的很接近的木造屋及破損的自來水幹管，更使得減火工作困難重重；估計死亡人數高達三千多人。
連續幾個星期的時間，倖存者睡在帳篷及公園中；為避免不慎燒燬更多的建築物，他們煮食時，會移至戶外。接著，他們忙於重建他們的城市及住家，並且希望不再被毀滅性的地震驚醒。
Fires that started as a result of the quake raged through San Francisco for three days. Closely-built wooden homes and broken water mains made it difficult to fight the fires. More than 3,000 people are estimated to have died.
For a few weeks, survivors slept in tents and parks. They cooked outdoors to avoid the chance that any more buildings would be burned. Then they got busy rebuilding their city and homes and hoped never to be awakened by a devastating earthquake again.
