Comment - I feel like the year should be left at least, especially since this isn't a recent event, as otherwise it may be confused with some other fire that may happen in the city.

While Saint John is a relatively common place name, the city in New Brunswick is the most well-known geographical spot named “Saint John” (excluding St. John’s, as Newfoundland’s city is larger - however, the names are often very differentiated and easy to tell by their different uses of “Saint” and “St.” as well as whether there’s a “‘s” at the end). Adding on to this, Saint John in New Brunswick is the only place named “Saint John” specifically where a major fire event has happened.
Further comment, now noticing that the
Great Fire of 1892 is used to title the major fire event in St. John’s, I’d be almost keen on renaming this to
Great Fire of 1877 as it’s the only major fire event to happen that year plus it already redirects to the current article.
