In "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry," the fire was started by white supremacists who targeted and burned down the family's cotton fields as an act of racism and violence towards the African American community. This event serves as a pivotal moment in the book, showcasing the deep-seated racism and injustice present in the society of that time.
In "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry," the fire was put out by the black community members who formed a bucket brigade. The fire was eventually stopped when Mr. Morrison, the Logans' friend and protector, arrived and used a sledgehammer to create a firebreak, preventing the fire from spreading further.
