1776- Fire in New York

On September 20-21 a fire was started on the Southern Tip of New York and was blown quickly into a wildfire. Many people had to move a second even third time as they thought that they were safe in there first location but soon found out that the fire had caught up with them. I can't even imagine how horrible it would be to see most of the city you live in burned to the ground. We are so lucky to have resources that can better control similar situations.
