After the spectacular fire tornado consumed the blazing Erwin Great Cathedral, the South Bank's inferno lost its strength to launch further offensives.
The blaze in Old Town was systematically divided and surrounded, eventually exhausting its fuel and perishing unwillingly.
By the following afternoon, the fires within the city had largely been extinguished, but the remnants spreading to the hills continued to expand for three more days.
The Temporary Military Governance Committee issued a notice, declaring the top priority to be controlling the wildfire.
The newly recruited militia, just reorganized based on the winter training structure from previous years, immediately marched into the southern hills under the command of officers at all levels to engage the flames once again.
Only a small number of gendarmes and militia were left temporarily to maintain order within the city.
