📅 4 September 1832 📍 Suriname

The blaze that began the previous night spread through central Paramaribo and destroyed dozens of properties. Colonial accounts made property loss and public order central, while its association with resistance by escaped enslaved people points to the violence and confinement surrounding the town. Accounts vary on the extent of damage.
