Since most of the buildings in ancient cities were made with a wood roof and all the furniture was wood it was very easy for an entire city to burn very fast. When ancient Rome burned it started in the crowded residential area that had apartments and shops connected to each other. Once started the fire jumped from building to building room to room. It got so hot marble melted ( you can still see some spots today in Rome that were damaged by the fire). Fire departments also did not exist until the 1800's so when a fire did start water and volunteers to fight the fire had to be found. The simple act of cooking often started fires and fireplaces often caught fire ( this was true all the way up to the 1900's). Fire was a constant danger for the people of the ancient world.
