History of Fires
in Council Bluffs
Fires have dramatically changed the landscape of the city-- and taken many lives.
Historical Society member and fire historian Cal Petersen will present a program about the local blazes with dozens of photos Sunday, March 25, at 2 pm at Bayliss Hall, just north of Bayliss Park. There is no admission charge.
85 years ago roads into Council Bluffs were blocked, a mob descended on the "Squirrel Cage" Jail, and the Sheriff ordered his deputies to shoot to kill. Read the story in History Online.
