125th Anniversary of Great Fire of 1886 in Vancouver
125 years ago, on June 13, 1886 the newly incorporated City of Vancouver faced its biggest disaster, the Great Fire of 1886. Within the span of a few hours an out of control brush fire swept through the region, destroying hundreds of homes and killing dozens of people. Through the perseverance of its people, the City rose from the ashes and the Great Fire of 1886 became a part of Vancouver's history. Come to Gastown on June 12, 2011, honour the anniversary of the Great Fire with a parade of fire engines, firefighters and even climb aboard a fire truck!
Celebrate one of Vancouver's most trying historic times, the Great Fire of 1886 with parade of fire trucks from different eras, firefighters and even the opportunity to climb aboard a fire truck!
- DATE: June 12, 2011
- TIME: 11:00am - 4:00pm; Parade: 10:00am
- LOCATION: Celebration: Gastown, Vancouver (map); Parade Route: Parade starts Gore Avenue at Cordova Street, north on Gore Avenue to Powell Street, west on Powell Street to Carrall Street (route map)
- COST: Free
- WEBSITE: Vancouver Fire & Rescue Services
Also, visit the Old Hastings Mill Store, the only surviving building of the Great Fire of 1886 in Downtown Vancouver. This building served as a supply store, morgue, hospital and shelter after the fire ravaged the newly incorporated City of Vancouver and is now a Museum at Jericho Beach in Kitsilano.
