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. The actual fire occured on the Cuyahoga River (which feeds into Lake Erie). The Cuyahoga River actually caught fire several times. But in 1969, a fire on the river caught the attention of Time Magazine. This notoriety led to the EPA passing the Clean Water Act and several others.
