On 18th April 1906, there was an earthquake(землетрус) in the city of San Francisco. It was 5 o’clock in the morning and there weren’t many people in the streets; most people were in bed. But it was a very big earthquake and people felt it in Los Angeles, more than 600 km from San Francisco. It destroyed many buildings.

But soon there was another problem. Many small fires started after the earthquake. At that time in San Francisco, the city was crowded and most old houses were made of wood. The fires moved quickly from building to building and from street to street. People didn’t have water to stop the fire, and soon buildings all over the city were on fire.
