About this listen

Based on a true story, Fiery Night is a heartwarming, empowering story about a little boy's devotion to his pet goat, Willie, and how they gave each other strength during the Great Chicago Fire in 1871.

Young Justin Butterfield was awakened in the night by neighbors warning his family of the coming fire. The Butterfields did what they could to save their home, but eventually had to flee. Justin insisted on taking Willie with them, even though the frightened goat made it more difficult for them to get away quickly. Encouraging and comforting Willie helped bolster Justin's own courage during the family's difficult journey through the burning city.
