Umeå city fire
The Great Fire of Umeå took place in 1888 and destroyed most of the city of Umeå in Sweden. The unusual windy weather conditions also contributed to two other fires on the same day in Sweden. Umeå took the opportunity to complete its plans to restructure the city and more birches were planted. As a result Umeå is known as the "City of Birches".
==History==
The preponderance of fires around the city increased as agriculture methods changed. Historically the Sami people had not burned the land as it destroyed the lichen required by their reindeer. New farmers frequently used swidden or slash and burn farming. During the nineteenth century the timber industry moved north clearing the land of trees but leaving the waste behind and creating a fire risk. There was a fire in Norrland in 1851, and in the later 19th century fires swept the area every ten years or so: there were major fires in 1868 and in 1878, but the most damaging to Umeå occurred on the afternoon of 25 June 1888. This fire was reported to have started at a brewery near Renmarksbäcken.〔
On the same day there was a devastating fire in Sundsvall where the town was quickly burnt in a high wind.〔(Fire of 1888 ), Sunsvall.se, retrieved 28 May 2014〕 There were several other forest fires in Sweden that day, and the settlement of Lilla Edet near Gothenburg also burnt to the ground.
In Umeå, the town hall was destroyed〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bebyggelseregistret.raa.se/bbr2/anlaggning/visaHistorik.raa?page=historik&visaHistorik=true&anlaggningId=21300000012685 )〕 as were the Teg shipyards and houses in the eastern parts of Umeå and on Ön Island.〔(Umeå's history ), Umea.se, retrieved 28 May 2013〕 The fire left 2,300 of the 3,000 inhabitants without homes.〔(Facts about Umea ), Umea2014.se, retrieved 28 May 2014〕
