Oscoda & Au Sable Fire of 1911

About this episode

Produced by Michigan History Magazine

In July of 1911, the neighboring Michigan cities of Oscoda and AuSable burned to the ground in what has been called the "most devastating fire in the history of Michigan". Due to the heavy influence of the lumber trade in those years, both cities were constructed entirely of wood which made the communities extremely vulnerable for disaster.
