Forest Fire Destroys Musquash In Only Two Hours

A forest fire approaches the thriving town of Musquash, sending its residents fleeing to a nearby marsh for safety.

 

Musquash was a thriving community on the Bay of Fundy, boasting several factories, mills, a railway station, and a port. All of that came to an abrupt end when the town was completely destroyed in only a couple of hours one afternoon in 1903.
