Forcing Flowers by Fire In a French Village
A fire in Chenesse sur Marne between Chatons and Vitry le Francois lasted four hours and destroyed much of the village. Remarkably, apple and pear trees nearest the flames burned away but the farther trees produced a second bloom by October. Lilac and plum trees also appeared to reflower as if returning to spring, suggesting heat from a conflagration can hasten blooming in plants and may spur new industry in the area.
