Can a river catch on fire?
If the river is polluted enough, it can. That's what happened to Ohio's cuyahoga-river. In 1969, the Cuyahoga River burst into flames, bringing into focus the river's dire condition. The sheer volume of trash and debris floating in the water, coupled with the chemicals, oil and sludge, made it impossible for fish to live there. Also this was not the first time the river had caught fire.
Why did the cuyahoga river catch fire in 1969?
The Cuyahoga River was polluted with industry pollution, such as oil and other flammable chemicals. All it would have taken is a small spark or even a hot sunny day to set the river ablaze. 1969 was not the first time the river caught fire, but it was the most devastating one and therefore the one that people remember. The river is no longer polluted as much due to modern understanding of pollution on the environment. Cuyahoga means "crooked river" in Iroquoian language.

How did industrialization of Cleveland affect Cuyahoga River?
The Cuyahoga river had been essential during the late 1700's for the development and industrialization of Ohio, particularly the small frontier town which came to be Cleveland. Over the next 170 years, the river transformed from a pristine, clear body of water to a chemical and sewage-ridden outlet. Eventually, in 1969, the river was no longer able to burden the damage that was inflicted upon it by the humans occupying the lands, and erupted into flames.

When did Lake Erie catch fire?
Actually, Lake Erie never actually caught fire. That's a myth, mostly perpetuated by a line in the first Crow movie. The lake was incredibly polluted, due to heavy industrial dumping.
