On This Day in History: On October 8, 1871, the Peshtigo Fire, now considered the most devastating fire in United States history, began in Wisconsin. Some 1,200 people lost their lives and 2 billion trees were consumed by flames. Despite the massive scale of the blaze, it was overshadowed by the Great Chicago Fire, which began later that night.
