During the Chicago Great Fire of 1871, automobiles were not used, as they had not yet been invented; the first gasoline-powered car was built in 1885. Instead, fire-fighting efforts relied on horse-drawn fire engines and hand-pumped water carts. The fire spread rapidly, overwhelming the existing firefighting resources of the time. The lack of modern transportation and equipment significantly hampered the response to the disaster.
