On September 2nd 1666, at one in the morning a fire broke out on Pudding lane. A baker called Thomas Farriner was wide awake, as his oven had gotten too hot and had set his house on fire. Meanwhile, on Seehting Lane Samuel Pepy is fast asleep. Farriner, his wife and his daughter managed to escape through the upstairs window, however, their maid was frightened and died in the blazing fire. Her death was the first causality.
As the fire got closer and closer, people got more terrified. They started to move their belongings to other houses and moving them again as the fire got closer. People would pile their things on carts or horses; others would but their things on boats on the River Thames. Poor people tried to carry as much as they could.
Around three in the morning Prepy’s maid woke him up to see the fire. He believed it was to far off and didnt worry. By seven his maid woke him up again and told him 300 houses had been burnt and that the fire was making its was towards them.
