What's Happening The Great Boston Fire of 1872  Book Stephanie for November events on the 1942 Cocoanut Grove fire and the Great Boston Fire of 1872 November marks the anniversary of two fires that changed Boston history: The horrific Cocoanut Grove nightclub fire of Nov. 28, 1942, which killed nearly 500 people, and the Great Boston Fire of Nov. 9-11, 1872, which devastated downtown Boston. Stephanie Schorow has uncovered new photographs and information about these seminal events that she has incorporated into a multi-media presentation available for libraries and local venues. She can speak about the legacy of the Cocoanut Grove fire which impacted fire safety codes, manslaughter law and medical treatment for burns and lung injuries. She has new information about a “hero” of the 1872 fire – a New Hampshire fire engine that raced to Boston and saved the Old South Meeting House. She has incorporated her research into a presentation that draws links between past and present and shows how tragedies may lead to innovations that save lives.
