∙ 10y agoThe fire stopped when there were no more buildings left to burn. Most buildings were wooden structures in those days and they were built close together in narrow lanes. Any fires that got out of hand were very hard to put out and people had to fend for themselves as there were no fire services as such. A watch of community personnel patrolled the streets looking for fires which often broke out quickly devouring the thatched buildings. They used to have to demolish buildings to cause fire-breaks, sometimes using gunpowder. The great fire burnt for 3 days from September 2 to 5 1666. The total dead was recorded as only 6 persons although that didn't count the many middle class or poor inhabitants. Of the 80,000 living in London it is estimated 70,000 were made homeless.
