The Carthage Fire was one of the biggest fires that Carthage ever had. I hope that Carthage never has a big fire again. The fire started because of the dry leaves. Then the wind blew the leaves across the river. then the wind blew it to Chuckie's school and burned it, but it didn't burn Chuckie's house. Then the wind blew the fire to Monument park and that's where the fire stopped.
