London
On that night, the wind was very strong. The houses were made out of wood and
were very close together and the streets were narrow. More than half of London
burned down. St. Paul's Cathedral, 13 200 houses and 87 churches were
destroyed by the fire.
There were hardly any deaths. Six verified deaths were recorded, but there might
have been more: the heat of the fire may have cremated victims and deaths of
poor or middle-class people were not recorded anywhere.
Evacuation from London and resettlement elsewhere was necessary. The fire
burned down the homes of 70 000 people, when London had a population of
80 000 humans, so almost everyone lost their home.
The fire was also good in some ways. It wiped out the last traces of the plague,
which had been very dangerous in the year 1665. After the fire, people started
building houses out of bricks and stones, they made the streets of London wider
and houses weren't so close together.
