#TodayinHistory in 1871, the Peshtigo Fire tore through northeastern Wisconsin—burning 1.2 million acres, destroying 17 towns, and claiming up to 2,500 lives. It remains the deadliest wildfire in U.S. history, though often forgotten beside the Great Chicago Fire. A sobering reminder of how human activity, land use, and extreme weather can collide—with lessons that still shape how we prepare for and prevent disaster today. 🌲🔥 #OnThisDay #PeshtigoFire #ClimateHistory #WildfireAwareness | Anthrop
