EDITOR S NOTE:
There are not enough pages in a Sunday newspaper to mention every major Butte fire â from the city s infancy to present day. Suffice to say, the Mining City has had its fair share. Todayâs story and photographs feature several that have occurred throughout Butteâs history.

The fire that destroyed the historic M&M Cigar Store on May 7 reminded us all that weâve been down this road before â many, many times. With the number of major fires Butte has sustained since its infancy, itâs truly a miracle the town has remained standing.
