1858 Christiania fire
The 1858 Christiania fire, starting on 14 April 1858, severely destroyed several city blocks near Stortorvet in Christiania, Norway. 41 buildings were destroyed, and about 1,000 people lost their homes.
==Course of events==
The fire started around at one o'clock in the night, in the home of a carpenter in a wooden building within the city block west of the street ''Dronningens gate''. The wind was blowing from the north, and within one hour five houses were set on fire. Within three hours buildings east of ''Dronningens gate'' started burning. This block had many old wooden houses, and the whole block was soon on fire and burned down completely except for one building. An important task for the firefighters was to prevent the fire from spreading southwards across the street ''Prinsens gate''. A fire engine pump from the fortress was placed here, and the crew managed to stop it spreading further southwards. Somewhat unexpectedly the fire jumped across the wide street of ''Kirkegaten''. Some of the buildings collapsed rather quickly, and two of the firefighters perished during those events. To the east, crew from the ship ''Lindesnes'' managed to prevent the fire from crossing the street ''Skippergaten''. After great efforts the firefighters succeeded in stopping the fire from spreading north and westwards across the streets ''Kongens gate'' and ''Østre gate''.
