The story

The series portrays events from the points of view of the Farriner family, in whose bakery on Pudding Lane the fire started, and of the royal court in responding to the fire. The storyline adds depictions never recorded from the real event. The fire was shown as starting when Farriner's daughter left the oven's stoke-hatch open and its fire ejected a hot ember which ignited loose straw on the wooden floor.
