It was 1666, September. Nothing seemed to portend trouble, but it was this month that the devastating fire in London, also called the "Great London Fire," began. In this article, we will briefly consider some details, as well as the causes and consequences of this tragedy.
The first day of the fire
It all started on Sunday night, September 2, at Thomas Farriner's bakery. The first victim, a maid, appeared in the same house. When the family escaped through the neighbours, she couldn't cope with the panic.
Dry weather, strong winds, wooden houses, stored barrels of flammable in warehouses, narrow streets, improper buildings of houses ... all this contributed to the fire. Things could have turned out differently that day if the owners of the neighbouring houses and the city's Lord Mayor agreed to demolish the buildings. It could have stopped the fire. But they were against it. Thus, the fire swept a third of the city.
Interesting: Thomas Bloodworth (Mayor of London) couldn't take control of everything in an emergency, so he just disappeared. In contrast, King Charles II performed well. Immediately appointed Thomas to replace his brother James of York and personally helped in extinguishing fire and demolishing buildings.
Second day
The government organised a group of firefighters. On the king's orders, they began to demolish buildings. But unfortunately it was very late. A fiery tornado was formed, which made the temperature of fire so high that brick houses were on fire, even metal melted. In addition, the situation was complicated by the residents themselves, who, instead of help, saved themselves and their belongings in a hurry. And given the crowded streets, it was fatal, because the water (there was a river nearby) was simply impossible to get there.
Interesting: St. Paul's Cathedral was destroyed by fire on Monday, September 3. Residents considered it the most reliable refuge and took refuge there with their property. And it was the presence of combustible things and wooden fortifications (as reconstruction took place) that destroyed an important historical building.
Third day
A fire strip was created. Unfortunately, she couldn't stop the fire, only delayed a little. On this day, many houses in a rich part of the city burned down. There was a danger that the fire would reach the supply of gunpowder. But thanks to the efforts of the soldiers, that didn't happen.
Interesting: Under the noise of fire, people decided, so to speak, to "good" with England's enemies - the French and Dutch. They not only blamed them for the fire, but also used violent violence against them. And that made the work of firefighters very difficult.
Fourth day
The fire strips finally yielded results - the fire stopped spreading and, for the most part, was extinguished. There are only lonely hearths left. The troops were able to clean up the population.
The cause of the fire
There is no official version of what caused the disaster. There are rumoured two options: special arson by warring foreigners (not proven); carelessness of the bakery maid. Still, they found a man who was made guilty - a foreigner, Robert Hubert. He was executed without investigation. But, as it turned out later, he arrived in London on September 4...
Consequences of the fire
The fire has caused terrible losses. As a result, up to 14,000 houses, up to 80 churches, St. Paul's Cathedral, the royal palace burned down and dozens of acres of land were destroyed.
Interesting: According to official data, only a few people were fatal victims. But if you think about it, it's just impossible! After all, not taking into account the old people, there was a plague in London before. Therefore, hundreds of people were simply unable to leave the city, and those who fled, could not have been saved, due to circumstances.
