Best Answer

The fire starts in Miss Maudie's house in the kitchen flue. It was the night of Halloween so that is why Scout refers to the house when it is lit up in flames as a pumpkin when she and Jem are outside in the snow. Men from Maycomb are outside trying to help salvage any of her belongings and Atticus (Scout and Jem's father) rescues a rocking chair. Boo Radley helps Scout without her knowing by giving her a blanket. They then realize when they get home that Boo Radley was just trying to look out for the children and he was just trying to make friends. This is a key point in the book because it shows that you shouldn't judge someone by the rumors that someone has spread about them.
