This is quite a long explanation. The Great Fire of London lasted for about 4.5 days since Sunday 2nd of September 1666 9:30 a.m. to Thursday 6th of September 1666 9:30 p.m. On Thursday 6th of September 1666 2:30 a.m., the low pressure trough or the LPT started forming in the Southern Norway and the formation lasted for about 3 hours until 5:30 a.m. Just after formation, the LPT started moving gradually southwestwards, leaving Norway and moving across the North Sea. On Thursday noon, it was already halfway across the North Sea. As the sun sets, it gradually neared the British Isles. Around 9:30 p.m., the LPT just reached London and it triggered of heavy downpours. The heavy downpours associated with the LPT fell over London and it gradually wiped out the great fire. Finally, the great fire was completely cleared out and that's how the Great Fire of London ceased.

∙ 13y agoI was told that they never stopped the fires, but it stopped on it's own when there was nothing left for the fire to consume. If they did, it would have been basic procedures, and that some of it was delayed by the Lord Mayor of London and used water from the Thames River. The change in weather patterns may have also helped stopped the fire, such as wind or even rain.
