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.
The Great Plague epidemic of 1665 is believed to have killed a sixth of London's inhabitants, or 80,000 people, and it is sometimes suggested that the fire saved lives in the long run by burning down so much unsanitary housing with their rats and their fleas which transmitted the plague, as plague epidemics did not recur in London after the fire.
