On This Date in Minnesota History: July 2

July 2, 2011 – “The six-fatality fire at the Bohemian Bed and Breakfast, [New Ulm, Minn.] was the single biggest fire death incident in Minnesota in 2011. The July 2 fire, which claimed the life of owner Bobbi McCrea and her daughters, Abby and Savannah, and three guests, was caused by unattended candles. The Bohemian fire was one of the region's worst fires and possibly the worst in New Ulm history.”
