The Miramichi Fire. (A View of Miramichi, 1760, oil painting by Francis Swaine) These blazes whipped up into a firestorm during a dry summer in Maine and the Canadian province of New Brunswick in October 1825, charring a massive 3 million acres and taking out settlements along the Miramichi River.
Though modern times have seen large fires, especially in California and Texas in the past few years, the worst fires ever seen in the United States took place over 100 years ago. The deadliest, the 1871 Peshtigo Fire, claimed 2,500 lives while the largest was the Great Fire of 1910, burning three million acres of land. As shown in these famous wildfires, many if not all incidents of tragedy, wildfires are very dangerous and can claim lives just like the worst tornadoes ever.
