The Great Fire of Turku (Finnish: Turun palo, Swedish: Åbo brand and Russian: Пожар Або) was a conflagration in the city of Turku in 1827. It is still the largest urban fire in the history of Finland and the Nordic countries.[1] The city had faced several large fires before, including an especially devastating fire in 1681.[2][3]
