easy to see why...

from the link: "Ultimately, fourteen buildings were destroyed or razed in attempts to control the blaze. Losses were estimated at $103,200, however no one was killed or injured."

must have been a slow news decade...

also easy to see why it's called "the Calgary Fire of 1886" at wiki and not the GREAT Calgary Fire of 1886

something like 65,000 died when the Union forces sacked atlanta...
