Great Fire of London How did the fire start and why did it spread?
Sept 2nd 1666 - Thomas Farriner (bakery on Pudding Lane) from a spark from the fire Buildings close together Long hot dry summerWindy conditions
How did people fight the fire?
There was no fire brigade.
People used leather buckets of water from river. Samuel Pepys persuaded King Charles to tell people to pull houses down using fire hooks to stop to fire spreading.
King Charles also gave permission for soldiers to use gunpowder to blow up houses to stop the fire.People escaped over the river in boats and on foot.
What was London like after the fire and what has changed?
Most of London had to be rebuilt and it took almost 50 years to finish it all! It was a hard time for the people who lived there.Lots of people died from disease and from the very cold winter after the fire because the temporary buildings were not good enough. New buildings had to be built from stone (rather than wood) and streets had to be wider so that the buildings were further apart. The first Fire Brigade was established after the Great Fire

Samuel Pepys wrote about it in his diary. We have other eyewitness reports. It was written about in newspapers. We have artwork and drawings that show the fire.
