VIDEO: The explosion at the Kenyon-Connell warehouse 125 years ago was so massive it was heard all the way in Willow Creek. "Every window in the area was shattered and it threw debris and all those rabble heads and pieces of metal and shrapnel up to the area of the courthouse. There was even a four-foot saw blade that landed in Rocker," said Jim McCarthy, who is part of an organization raising funds to build a memorial commemorating the disaster. When it was over, 58 people were killed, including 13 of the 15 members of Butte's Fire Department. "That's pretty major to have your whole fire department wiped out in one shot, that's pretty devastating, but to have 44 citizens rush in and try to help the firemen and have them be impacted too is pretty significant," said McCarthy.
