Which is one extraneous detail from this passage?
Hannah is writing an essay about the human errors that
were made during the Chicago fire of 1871.
Several key human errors contributed to the spread of the
Chicago fire of 1871. When the blaze first began, Bruno Goll
refused to sound the first alarm, which was housed in his
drugstore. Later, at the courthouse, Mathias Schaffer
instructed his assistant, William J. Brown, to sound Box 342
- instead of Box 319, sending firefighters toward the wrong
location. When Schaffer realized his mistake, Brown flat-out
refused to strike the correct box. Even after the fire, Brown
was confident in his decision not to correct the mistake.
Finally, as the blaze raged on, fireman John Dorsey
attempted to sound a special alarm, but accidentally
sounded a general alarm. This meant that additional trucks
and equipment were not immediately sent out to help.
