Samuel Pepys: Great Fire of London part 4

The transcript describes a chaotic scene where people and animals are fleeing a fire, with sick individuals being carried on beds. The Lord Mayor, exhausted and overwhelmed, struggles to manage the situation, calling for more soldiers as the fire spreads faster than houses can be demolished. Witnesses describe the panic and lack of firefighting equipment, with closely built houses and warehouses full of flammable materials exacerbating the situation. In desperation, people pack churches with goods salvaged from burning homes.
