"During the morning of June 11, 1805, a blaze began in a barn near the local bakery and the flames spread quickly to other wooden structures.

The entire city was burnt to the ground by the days end. Today, the Great Fire of 1805 is remembered in Detroit's city flag with the city's motto, ""It will rise from the ashes,"" in Latin."
