Washington, D.C., was saved from the fire of 1814 largely due to a sudden rainstorm that struck on the night of August 24. The rain helped extinguish many of the flames that were consuming government buildings, including the Capitol and the White House, after British troops set them ablaze during the War of 1812. Additionally, the swift action of local citizens and soldiers helped to protect other structures from being destroyed. The weather change ultimately limited the damage done by the British forces.
