Great Fire Blog

It is 3am in the morning, I was sleeping but my friend woke me up, i am Senida, (Thomas Faynor my friend that works in the baker), I am woken up because i heard people screaming and i smelt fire to. Then i went outside and saw people die and by 7am 300

houses have been destroyed. At 8am people began to send their belongings into the

northern parts of the City to keep them safe so there's no trouble of them in danger.

I am worried about the fire because i might die and my belongings might be set in fire so i took it with me. Finally, at 3pm the fire burns in waterside warehouses,fed by all the flammable goods inside-wine,oil,hemp,tar,coal and timber.
