Tigger Warnings: Fire, death, death of families - including children, death of animals, environmental destruction

In 1871, on the same night as The Great Chicago Fire, another fire raged through a small town in Wisconsin. Though it wiped out a town and killed more people, it's not known to the general population. The hell that was suffered by the residents of Peshtigo that night deserves to be remembered.

Welcome to the second season of Trigger Warning as Diz takes us back to the night of the Peshtigo Fire.
