Shops in the Middle Ages were significant fire hazards primarily due to their construction materials, which often included wood and thatch, making them highly flammable. Additionally, many shops operated with open flames for lighting and heating, and craftsmen used processes like blacksmithing or baking that involved high heat. The close proximity of buildings in towns and the lack of effective fire safety regulations further exacerbated the risk of fire spreading rapidly. Overall, these factors combined made medieval shops particularly vulnerable to devastating fires.
