Why did so many buildings burn in the great fire of London?
There was no fire brigade back then, no fire pumps, no water hydrants, just volunteers with buckets who backed off when the fire got out of control. Most houses were completely or partly made of wood, and the season had been very dry, so they burned easily. And a strong wind fueled the fire and the spread of the fire.

How is the fire of London compared to other fires like the Blitz?
May I point out that the BLITZ was not a fire but the result of being continuously bombed by the Germans during WW2.....so you cannot compare. The Great Fire of London completely destroyed nearly all of London, but in retrospect if was a good thing, for it got rid of all the slums, and allowed a rebuild that would be better. (New Respondent) There is a theory that the Fire of London was started deliberately. The young Christopher Wren had just come back from Rome, where he was impressed with St. Peter's, and told the city fathers that London ought to have something like it. They told him that there wasn't a budget. But some of them still thought it should happen, and supposedly started the fire for that purpose. It didn't spread very fast, and the Lord Mayor said he shouldn't have been roused from his bed for such a small fire. So they re-started it, and this time it did spread.
