The Great Fire of London was a disaster waiting to happen. London of 1666 was an average city of medieval houses made mostly of oak timber. Some of the poorer houses had walls covered with tar, which kept out the rain but made the structures more vulnerable to fire. The weather was bone dry. Streets were narrow, houses were crowded together, and the firefighting methods of the day consisted of neighbourhood bucket brigades armed with pails of water and primitive hand pumps. Citizens were instructed to check their homes for possible dangers, but there were many instances of carelessness.
