4,000

1 person dies every 2 hours for a total of 4380 per year, and that's just the people that die on the scene of the fire, that doesn't include the ones that die later due to injuries.

Why did so many buildings burn in the great fire of London?

There was no fire brigade back then, no fire pumps, no water hydrants, just volunteers with buckets who backed off when the fire got out of control. Most houses were completely or partly made of wood, and the season had been very dry, so they burned easily. And a strong wind fueled the fire and the spread of the fire.

Did houses have windows in the middle ages?

Most houses had windows, but most houses did not have glass in the windows. Instead, the windows were open, and could be closed with a shutter. Many houses had window-like holes high in the walls to vent smoke from the fire on the hearth, because they had no chimney, and such vents were not closed for weather because they had to stay open for the fire. It was not what we would call cozy. Rich people, of course, had windows, and these often had glass in them.
