About this listen

In this fiery episode of the Whiskey Row History Show, hosts Constable Ron Williams and historian Bradley Courtney dive into one of Prescott’s most pivotal moments: the Great Fire of 1900.

Over the course of just five hours, flames consumed more than 70 buildings, caused the modern equivalent of $55–60 million in damages, and reshaped Whiskey Row forever.

From dynamite firefighting tactics and exploding saloons to looting, piano sing-alongs, and the resilience of Prescott’s townsfolk, this story is part tragedy, part legend, and entirely unforgettable. Join us as we explore how disaster gave rise to the Whiskey Row we know today.
