What were the conflicts and compromises in the Great Fire of Chicago?

One of the conflicts about the Great Fire of Chicago was the debate about what caused the fire. One reason the fire spread so quickly and so far was because a lot of the buildings were made out of wood. A compromise made after the fire was that many of the building that were rebuilt were not made out of wood to make them more fireproof.
