Dublin Whiskey Fire
&gt; The fire is believed to have started in Laurence Malone&#x27;s bonded storehouse on the corner of Ardee Street, where 5,000 hogsheads (262,500 imperial gallons or 1,193,000 litres or 315,200 US gallons) of whiskey were being stored...<p>Hogsheads sound like a fictional unit of measure made up to mock the imperial system.
