September 25
A fire swept through downtown Deadwood on this date in 1879, destroying over 100 businesses. It started in a Main Street bakery and spread to a holding room, which contained blasting material. Fireworks exploded and soon covered the town. The only death was that of Briton Casino Jack, who was deaf and burned in his room.
