Özet:

Fires are one of the ordinary events for Ottoman cities and people. Most of the Ottoman cities had lived big or small fires for a couple of times. Wooden structures cause those fires to happen and spread rapidly. In this study, seven fires, which occurred in a short time in Çanakkale will be examined. Those fires occurred in following districts Yalı, (1836, 1854, and 1860), Rum (1852, 1845 and 1866) and Ermeni (1856). Fires which had great damage to the city were the ones occurred in 1836, 1845 and 1866. All of those fires occurred accidentally and spread with the strength of the wind. Fires which occurred in 1852, 1854, 1856 and 1860 were extinguished by people and soldiers before spread the whole. Government did not allow people to construct new buildings on those fire places for a while. Engineers came to the city and conduct cadastral studies and map those places. Kargir buildings were encouraged. Bed and feeding needs of people that effected from those fires were provided immediately
