| Pownal Street at Sydney Street after the fire of 1866. |

| In Charlottetown, "the fire department was enlarged after what was probably the most serious crisis in the history of Charlottetown, the great fire of 1866. Early in the morning of July 15, a blaze started in a house near the Corner of King and Pownal Streets and a westerly wind drove it through the town to Great George Street." 200 buildings were destroyed.
