Burwell, Nebraska School Fire
March 31, 1902
One long remembered date was Mar. 31, 1902,
when the schoolhouse burned. It caused great
excitement and near panic until it was
ascertained that the children were safe. They
had been removed from the building in an orderly
manner and many did not know of the fire until
they were outside. This occurrence hastened the
end of the hand-pump-and-bucket-brigade era and
hurried the citizens into constructing a modem
water system and related public utilities.
