The Great Fire of London occurred in 2nd of September 1666, starting in a bakery on Pudding Lane. The fire quickly spread due to strong winds and the city's predominantly wooden structures. It raged for three days, leaving an estimated 70,000 people homeless and destroying over 13,000 houses. Despite the absence of a formal fire brigade, Londoners formed bucket brigades, demolished buildings, and used gunpowder to create firebreaks, eventually extinguishing the flames.
