Comments

I remember encountering this subject eons ago in my student days. The tutor emphasised the fire's impact on the insurance industry and the development of specialist fire brigades. The article is an interesting read and I just made a few copy edits as I read it. It's fine, though I would think there is potential for expansion. Sourcing is good and presents a wide range of research. I like the images of the fire and it's a good idea to include the Braidwood memorial.

Just one small point that I can't check, but which has no effect on the review – is reference 14 labelled correctly per the source as "conflaguration" doesn't look right?

I'm promoting the article to GA. Well done. No Great Shaker (talk) 12:14, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
