The Great Fire

A fire has broken out in a bakery on Pudding Lane and it is quickly engulfing London. The use of highly flammable construction materials in many buildings such as Lumber is contributing to the swift progression of the fire. The narrow alleys and severe overcrowding are hindering any effective measures of slowing down its advance.
Eastern winds are causing the fire to spread towards the Tower of London, engulfing everything in its path with massive devastation within the city walls, however, it would seem that nearby government seat of Westminster is safe.

Winds have shifted westerly, causing the fire to spread away from more densly constructed areas. This turn of events is limiting the amount of damage sustained to London, with some devastation instead befalling on the government seat of Westminster.

17728historical_info = flavor_eng.176.historical_info The Great Fire of London was a catastrophic blaze that destroyed most of the city within the Roman walls. It raged for approximately three days and quickly spread thanks to dry weather conditions and strong winds. The fire resulted in the widespread destruction of homes, businesses, and landmarks, including St. Paul's Cathedral. The disaster led to major changes in city planning and stricter building regulations.
