Great fire of London

They couldn't carry water fast enough to put the fire out.

The streets were wide

A strong wind blew the flames to the other houses.

The buildings were made from stone.

There had been no rain, so London was very dry.

The buckets were made of leather.

The buildings were very far apart.

There were only a few fire engine carts.

The buildings were mostly made of wood.

It was raining that day.
