A little about the book
Stewart recounts the fire that swept through Saint John, New Brunswick, on 20 June 1877. The movement from one part of the city to another shows how an emergency changes when fire crews, residents and businesses all have decisions to make at once.
Local names and street references make the account particularly useful alongside a map. The writing also preserves how a community described the damage and immediate relief while the event was still close.
