List of historic fires
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Great Fire)
This is a list of historic fires. Before the 20th century, fires were a major hazard to urban areas and the cause of massive amounts of damage to cities. While a few of the most important wildfires or forest fires are included, this list is not the primary resource to refer to for the most severe wildfires; that job belongs to the List of forest fires.
