The Great fire of London

Blowing up and pulling houses down was the way they stopped the great fire of London from spreading  

even further until it finally stopped.A fire-break was ordered by pulling down houses from king Charles.

Losing your home was not wanted so hopuses were pulled down at the last minute.But by this time it was sometimes too late because the piles of timber and timber caught alite too.The pumping house had burnt down early on which only made matters worse as fire-fighters soon found themselves running out of water pretty quickly.

Very few people were actually killed surprisingly as the fire had been burning for a few days.The Great Fire finally wiped out the plague as it killed many black rats and their homes historians often say.

After the fire a great opportunity was missed.A new well planned city with wide streets and proper houses could have been made of London.The houses were just put up as before.Put up with no thought of hygiene or health.Whereas on the other hand fine new churches were built to the fine designs of Christopher Wren.
