Then, in 1871 a fire swept through the tops of the trees in forests of the thumb district so quickly that it killed trees without entirely consuming them.
As a result, the remaining charred stumps added to the already huge piles of highly flammable kindling, piles as deep as twelve to fifteen feet.
Weather conditions also contributed to the disastrous fire.
No significant rain had fallen for almost two months, and most wells and streams were dry.
Cracks criss-crossed the dry earth.
Had it rained prior to the fire, the moist ground could have helped prevent its spread.
Furthermore, high southwesterly winds up to forty miles per hour were recorded in the Southern area of the forest.
