The great fire of London was started by a man named Thomas Farriner (or Farynor). One night Thomas started the fire to cook the bread and he went upstairs forgetting about the fire.
London had thousands of coal fires. It is next to a river. The result of the former was a lot of smoke and of the latter a lot of fog. The smoke got mixed with the fog, creating 'smog', and trapped by temperature inversion. Result: impenetrable fogs which killed, or hastened the deaths of, thousands, most notably in the Great Smog of 1952.
