The great fire of Miramichi


The great fire of Miramichi
On October 7, 1825, a forest fire broke out which burned across 6,000 square miles of northeastern New Brunswick- about one-fifth of the province-and killed at least 160 people. This forest fire was the largest so far recorded in Canadian history. It seems likely that there were really two Miramichi fires, the first being a collection of smaller fires spread over 6,000 to 8,000 square miles, and the second a more intense fire of about 400 square miles.
