Kvart i 6 på kvällen den 1 augusti 1889 hörde linköpingsborna plötsligt domkyrkoklockorna ringa för brandlarm. Brand hade utbrutit i Linköpings Träförädlings övre fabrik och innan natten var till ända hade elden spridit sig över hela fabriksområdet och även raserat Linköpings Gjuteri.  De bägge industrierna var två av Linköpings största och som före branden tillsammans erbjudit omkring 150 personer arbete. Den medfarna bilden visar resterna av just nämnda gjuteri.

Dagen är den 3 oktober 1913. Några minuter efter klockan tre på eftermiddagen larmades brankåren i Linköping till en eldsvåda i den så kallade Bergdahlska gården på Storgatan 18. Då kåren kommit till platsen välde rök ut genom taket utefter husets hela längd, men endast i flygeln mot Snickaregatan hade elden brutit igenom taket. Som tur var det nära till brandposter och efter en kraftfull insats var branden under kontroll. Gården, som ägdes av disponent Hjalmar Larsson, var redan före branden fallfärdig och skulle rivas. Bostadslägenheterna på övervåningen var sedan endast ett par dagar lyckligtvis tömda och obebodda. I gatuplanet fanns ännu ett skomakeri och en plåtslagarverkstad. Man spekulerade om brandens orsak fanns att finna i verkstaden bristfälliga ässja eller kunde sökas i att gården en tid varit tillhåll för objudna gäster som möjligen hanterat eld oförsiktigt.
