Hey there,Podcast listerners.Welcome to something something podcast.I am your host Tavish. In this episode,I am going to talk about a small fire in a bakery on Pudding Lane erupted into a catastrophic blaze that consumed most of London. Fueled by dry summer conditions, wooden buildings, and strong winds, the fire raged for four days, destroying 13,000 homes, 87 churches, and St. Paul’s Cathedral. With no organized fire brigade, efforts to stop the inferno were chaotic. Theories about its cause ranged from an accident to foreign sabotage. Despite the devastation, the fire led to modernized city planning, fire safety reforms, and the first fire insurance systems, shaping London into the city we know today.
