Firefighting in the Great Fire

To really get an understanding of how terrible and different fighting a fire would have been in 1666 compared to now, we set about working in teams getting a small bucket of water from the Thames river and passing it along the line.  A lot of us got wet feet and coats especially when we tried to rush and panicked just like they would have done during the great blaze in 1666.  This left us with only a small amount of water left in the bucket.  Kingsley did his best to get it high up at the flames but it barely helped at all! Eliza said 'all that effort and there's still a fire, it was rubbish!'
