More vague history.

Hows this.

Causes

One of the reasons the fire spread unchecked was the current state of the fire department. Large businesses and the more kind hearted councilmen maintained private fire departments, but they were all independent and lacked any form of cohesion. When the first flames rose above Malton the first two fire teams on the scene from Headland Street and Cocker Boulevard came to blows over who would extinguish the blaze. Two further teams were sucked into this melee, before the highly effecient fire team 9, sponsored by The Alner Family arrived on the scene with their water pumping carriage.

Some less fortunate firemen paid a higher price for this competitiveness. Members of the Cade Place team, were trapped inside their own building by a number of carts placed there by the ever enthusiastic Getsom Drive Fire Station team, who wanted the glory of fighting the fire to be all theirs. When the fire spread unchecked only 3 firemen survived the buildings destruction.

By this time the fire has spread beyond the initial site and was uncontrollable.

good, but you need to get in the habit of putting more links in your work. Mention specific ALiM fire stations, even bring The Arkham Sisters into it if you wish. ;) --xoxo 06:48, 9 April 2008 (BST)
