The Great Fire of London happened because a bakery caught fire, and nobody could put it out. People used water from nearby pumps, but there were too few pumps and not enough water to stop the fire from spreading all across the city. The fire burned for four days and destroyed most of old London.
Examples
- A little fire in a bakery turns into a huge fire that burns for four days.
- The city’s buildings were all made of wood, so they caught fire easily.
- People tried to use water from nearby pumps to put out the fire, but there weren’t enough.
