Well, back to the British Isles. During the 1600's in England King Charles 1 made a mess of things causing a civil war, precipitating the Commonweath, and had to deal with a year of plague and then a fire that destroyed 4/5 of London. We chose to burn down London for our project.
First we built London's crowded streets.
We identified the starting point, The bakery at Pudding Lane.
So that is where we started the Great Fire.
It started out slow, as did the real Great Fire. The Lord Mayor went to take a look and said, A woman could put that out!
Then it began to spread from one row of houses to another!
Within hours/minutes the city was in flames
It took 3 days/minutes to put out the fire.
When it was all over 4/5 of the city was in ashes!
