The Great Fire of Turku (Finnish: Turun palo; Swedish: Åbo brand; Russian: Пожар Або, romanized: Pozhar Abo) was a conflagration in the city of Turku in 1827. It is still the largest urban fire in the history of Finland and the Nordic countries. The city had faced several large fires before, including an especially devastating one in 1681.
