Most all of the troops in Savannah were gone by Jan 25, 1865. Shortly after they left, a Ammo dump exploded on the west side of town and burned more than 100 homes. It is not known if it was a Union Action, Confederate Action, or, just an unfortunate accident. I tend to lean towards the unfortunate accident myself.

I had not heard of the fire until I was grown, but, always wondered why that side of town had no old buildings in it. Up until the 70s it was just old warehouses, and, a few businesses. The area changed a LOT over the years.
