- At 4am on June 19th, 1964, Albert Healey set a rug on fire in an abandoned blacksmith shed near downtown Lebanon, NH. Conditions that day were particularly dry and windy, so the flames quickly spread to other buildings in the are, destroying more than 20 businesses and claiming two lives. The city's infrastructure changed considerably after this fire, as the old mill district which had been destroyed was never fully rebuilt
