Bourbondy has suffered a devastating event in its history. The whole city of Bourbondy was on fire, which left hundreds homeless. Officials said that the residents spotted smoke coming out of a stable. Someone had left their lamp on in the stable to check on the horses before dawn. A horse probably kicked the lamp over causing the fire. Because the fire was fueled by the dry hay, it spread quickly. There was nothing the residents could do to control it. Also, because of a usual drought the fire quickly spread southwest to northeast in the direction of the wind from building to building. Virtually 80 percent of the buildings were destroyed. Officials have now planned to update the building code, required building made from brick or stone to create a shield to keep fire from spreading to quickly. Other undamaged buildings were demolished due to fire hazards within Bourbondy's city limits except Bourbondy's White House and the kilns building.

Several decades have passed. Bourbondy have entered from the 18th century into the 19th century, and the city is prospering as if the fire has not occurred. Bourbondy has expanded to the south, east, and north, doubling the population.
