What are the major conflicts presented in the Diary of Samuel Pepys regarding the Great Fire of London?

One of the most famous highlights of the diary is Pepys’ first-hand account of the Great London Fire which destroyed much of the city in 1666. The entry for September 2 of that year—the day the fire began sweeping across the crowded metropolis—is one of the longest in the diary and the description of what Pepys saw is highlighted by one of his simplest yet most effective metaphors in describing the conflagration as “a most horrid malicious bloody flame, not like the fine flame of an ordinary fire.”
