The Buffalo River ran by Republic Steel, National Aniline and Dow Chemical and it could have caught on fire as easily, though I don't know that it ever did. Always scared me as a kid to drive over it. Mark lived in Cleveland at the time of that fire. He notes that it was actually the last time the river caught on fire which was why it surprised people at the time. Apparently it had not done so for a while before that. We were going to raise a glass of Burning River on the anniversary but forgot. My chili recipe calls for beer so I always make Burning River Chili.

Thanks for sharing this beautiful work. When I lived in Cleveland, I always liked how people in the city had a kind of perverse pride in the river having caught fire - witness Burning River Pale Ale, and the Burning River Festival. -KG I love these pictures.
