The Great Fire of London was one of this cities' most disrupting dillemas. It was indeed very hard to put out the humungous fire; spreading across almost all of the city although it was done. But how? Fire engines were not yet invented at the time so there were alternatives including buckets/barrows and carts which would carry not huge quantities of water but would help to drown out the oxygen in the flames. Other ideas were thought of as well as this; A famous man called Samuel Pepys thought it would be more efficient to pull down the houses with long and powerful ropes as this would leave nowhere for the fire to lead to!
