Talk:Great Fire of Toronto (1904)

Cause of the fire
"The exact cause of the fire is still not known": what does "still" mean here? It seems to imply that it's likely to be discovered in the future. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pbevin (talk • contribs) 15:24, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Failure to learn lesson from Baltimore fire?
It's kind of trivial, but the Baltimore fire, just 2 months before the Toronto fire, had fairly similar characteristics in terms of location and magnitude. It would only take a couple days at most by 1904 to pass the news about the Baltimore fire back then, so it's a bit surprising that a second fire of similar scale occured just 2 months later, even though Toronto was smaller than Baltimore back then. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.140.139.156 (talk) 19:11, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Please fix the opening sentence!
Poorly constructed, it states that there were 2 fires on the same date. Thanks Gimelgort 03:30, 12 June 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gimelgort (talk • contribs)
