The Great Salonica Fire
Started, it is thought, by spilled cooking oil, the Salonica Fire of 1917 destroyed more than 9500 buildings, with damages estimated at£ 80,000,000. The British Salonica Force took on the tasks of fighting the flames and evacuating and sheltering some 77,000 refugees- a testament to Anglo-Hellenic friendship.
