∙ 12y agoThe houses of 1666 where made of mainly wood and hay which is highly flammable so the fire would just ignite and continue to burn due to the houses being so closely packed.
· All of the houses where made out of wood so the fire caught to the house very quickly and each house burnt down very quick.
· The roofs where made out of hay and hay is burnt very easily.
· All of the houses where very close together so once one house caught alight the next were soon after. The house where pretty much joint together.
· The occasion the fire was in was during summer time so this meant that the wood on the houses was dry and the hay for the roof was dry, which meant the houses caught fire even quicker.
Also, to improve, the reason the fire spread far and quickly was that a strong wind was gusting towards the East which made it spread further.
