Florida on Fire: The Fire in the Sky

Event Description

Join Zach Zacharis, Senior Curator of History from The Brown at the Shores Community Center, for a step into the past to bear witness to a little-known but crucial part of Florida's history with "Florida On Fire: The Fire in the Sky," a riveting presentation that sheds light on the devastating urban fires that plagued the state in the 19th and early 20th centuries. From the Great Jacksonville Fire of 1901, the nation's third-largest urban fire in history, to the fires that ravaged Ocala, Deland, St. Augustine, Key West, and other cities, these disasters left a lasting impact on Florida's landscape and its people.
