The Great Fire of Toronto occurred on April 7, 1904, and was one of the most devastating fires in the city's history. It started in a warehouse on Front Street and quickly spread due to strong winds and dry conditions. The fire destroyed over 100 buildings, including homes, businesses, and important infrastructure. The aftermath of the fire led to significant changes in fire safety regulations and urban planning in Toronto. The city rebuilt with more fire-resistant materials and improved firefighting capabilities. This event highlighted the importance of preparedness and led to the establishment of better emergency response systems.
