From Sunday, September 2, 1666 until Thursday, September 6, 1666, the fire in London was a fire that passed all the way through the center of London in the UK. The fire destroyed the medieval city of London in the walls of ancient Romans. Although it threatened, it did not reach the aristocratic district of Westminster, the Whitehall Palace of Charles II, and most of the suburban slums. We are consuming 13,200 houses, 87 parish churches, St. Paul's Cathedral, and most municipal buildings. It is estimated that 70,000 people out of the 80,000 residents in the city were destroyed.

Early in the morning a London fire broke out at Charles II bakery in Purine Lane near the London Bridge. It quickly spread to Thames Street, where warehouses filled with combustibles and strong easterly turned fire into hell.

London in 1666 was a medieval house centered on oak. Some of the poorer houses are covered with tar to protect them from rain, but these buildings are more susceptible to fires.

Prior to the London fire in 1666, some parish of England began to organize basic firefighting activities. After the fire, Nicholas Barbon started the first fire insurance. To reduce insurance costs, Barbon also set up his own fire brigade and other companies followed it. By the early nineteenth century, the insurance building was marked with a sign indicating that it was the subject of a badge or company firefighting. Buildings not insured by a particular company are left incinerated by firefighters, unless they are adjacent. In 1833, a fire insurance company in London merged with a London firefighting company.
