The Peshtigo fire was a large forest fire on October 8, 1871, in northeastern Wisconsin, United States, including much of the southern half of the Door Peninsula and adjacent parts of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The largest community in the affected area was Peshtigo, Wisconsin which had a population of approximately 1,700 residents. The fire burned about 1.2 million acres and is the deadliest wildfire in recorded history, with the number of deaths estimated between 1,500 and 2,500. Although the exact number of deaths is debated, mass graves, both those already exhumed and those still being discovered, in Peshtigo and the surrounding areas show that the death toll of the blaze was most likely greater than the 1889 Johnstown flood death toll of 2,200 people or more.

  • L'incendie de Peshtigo est un très grand feu de forêt qui a eu lieu le 8 octobre 1871 dans le nord-est du Wisconsin, aux États-Unis, comprenant une grande partie de la moitié sud de la péninsule de Door et des parties adjacentes de la péninsule supérieure du Michigan. La plus grande communauté de la zone touchée était Peshtigo, dans le Wisconsin. Le feu a brûlé environ 1 200 000 acres (485 623 ha) et a été l'incendie de forêt le plus meurtrier de l'histoire, provoquant la mort d'environ 1 500 personnes, et peut-être même de 2 500. (fr)
  • ペシュティーゴ火災(ぺしゅてぃーごかさい、英語:Peshtigo fire)は、1871年10月8日にアメリカ合衆国中央北部のウィスコンシン州ペシュティーゴ(Peshtigo)で発生した大規模な森林火災である。合衆国史上最悪の野火(wildfire)で、約1500人、もしくは2500人もの死者が出たと推定されている。 同日に有名なシカゴ大火が発生したため、ペシュティーゴ火災はすっかり忘れられている。ペシュティーゴおよびシカゴの火災と同じ日に、ミシガン州のホランドおよびマニスティー(Manistee)(ペシュティーゴからミシガン湖を越えて)、およびヒューロン湖の南端ポートヒューロンでも大火災が発生したために、同時代人および歴史家が共通の原因に関する様々な説を挙げている。 (ja)
  • Pożar Peshtigo – pożar, który 8 października 1871 strawił miasteczko Peshtigo w stanie Wisconsin. Katastrofa spowodowała śmierć największej liczby istnień ludzkich z powodu ognia w dziejach Stanów Zjednoczonych. W związku z tym, że wybuchł on tego samego dnia co "wielki pożar Chicago", pożar Peshtigo pozostaje wydarzeniem prawie nieznanym. Również tego samego dnia miejscowości Holland i Manistee po drugiej stronie jeziora Michigan padły ofiarą ognia, podobnie jak Port Huron na południowym krańcu jeziora Huron. (pl)
  • 派什提戈大火(英語:Peshtigo fire)是1871年10月8日發生於美國威斯康星州的大型森林火災,主要受災範圍為威州多尔半岛、及密西根上半島南部。受災最嚴重的地方是威斯康星州的小鎮。燃燒面積1,200,000英畝,死亡人數則估計在1,500–2,500。派什提戈大火是有紀錄以來的最致命野火。 (zh)
  • Der Feuersturm von Peshtigo ereignete sich ab dem 8. Oktober 1871 über große Flächen im Nordosten von Wisconsin. Die größte Gemeinde von 12, die betroffen waren, war Peshtigo. Etwa 490.000 Hektar (4.900 km²) brannten ab. Einige Menschen überlebten, indem sie in den Peshtigo River flohen. Andere, die sich in Brunnen geflohen hatten, erstickten. Das Feuer bestand aus zwei Bränden auf beiden Seiten der Green Bay. Etwa 1.500 Menschen kamen um. Das bewahrt Erinnerungsstücke an die Katastrophe. (de)
