Read this excerpt from The Great Fire. Which quotation best reflects the main idea of this

location of the blaze to the firehouses nearest to it. For
added security, the giant Courthouse bell was also rung.
Because of the drought, special Insurance Patrols had
been organized and Benjamin Bullwinkle was appointed
