Perhaps the most famous cow in American history was owned by Mrs O'Leary. The cow is accused of burning down what major American city?

Chicago


The Great Chicago Fire began on the evening of October 8, 1871, and continued for two days. It destroyed 3.3 square miles of Chicago, and resulted in 200 to 300 casualties. Over 17 thousand buildings and property worth $222 million (roughly $4.3 billion in modern terms) was destroyed.
The fire started in a small barn at 137 DeKoven Street, owned by Patrick and Catherine O'Leary. There are several theories about how the fire might have started, and the cow has been exonerated in most historical circles. The training academy for the Chicago Fire Department stands on the site where the fire began. The cow story was popularized by the 1937 film "In Old Chicago", which won Alice Brady an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.

The bear with his own mailing zip code: Smokey Bear. This bear cub was rescued from a forest fire that raged in which U.S. state, thus becoming the national emblem for preventing forest fires?

New Mexico

Originally called "Hotfoot Teddy" and later simply "Smokey Bear", this American icon was rescued from a forest fire that raged in the Capitan Mountains of New Mexico, in 1950. His namesake, "Smokey" Joe Martin, was a New York City Fire Department hero who suffered burns on his body and blindness in a 1922 fire.

After Smokey Bear's rescue and physical treatment for burns incurred on his paws and hind legs after he had climbed a tree in a futile attempt to escape the fire, he was removed to the National Zoo in Washington D.C. where he resided until his death in 1976.

He received so much mail from fans, that in 1964 the U.S. Postal system assigned him his own zip code. According to the Ad Council, Smokey the Bear was recognizable by 95% of adults and by 77% of children in the U.S. in 2001, as the most avid "spokesman" against wild fires.

Smokey is buried in what is now called "Smokey Bear National Park", in Capitan, New Mexico.
