Dana: Hi, Mei. What’s up?
Mei: Hey, Dana. I saw in your blog that you visited the Monument in London.
What did you think?
Dana: I thought it was brilliant. Look, here’s a picture I took.
Mei: That’s amazing! I know that it’s a monument to remember the Great Fire of London, but I don’t know much else about it.
Dana: Well, it’s a tall tower with a gold ball at the top.

It’s a few metres away from where the fi re started in 1666.
Mei: I didn’t know that. How did the fi re start?

Dana: Well, there was a bakery on Pudding Lane and the fi re started in an oven.

The houses in London used to be wooden, so the fi re moved from house to house very quickly.

Mei: Oh, no! That’s awful! Then what happened?

Dana: The fi re burned for four days because there was no fi re brigade.

Mei: So what did people use to do when there was a fi re?
Dana: Well, they didn’t use to be able to call the fi re brigade like we do now, so they just used to throw buckets of water over fires.
