"The Peshtigo Fire

began on Oct. 8, 1871

The exact death toll remains unknown, but most historians estimate that between 1,200 and 2,400 people were killed, according to the National Weather Service.
...
began the same day as the Great Chicago Fire, which killed roughly 300 people and destroyed thousands of buildings"

Wow!

If only the government had banned SUV's, central A/C, incandescent light bulbs and "white privilege," those fires could have been prevented.

That wildfire in Waco back in ‘93 was pretty awful, too. Well, I guess, technically, that was a controlled burn.
