This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

Read Charles II’s declaration to London in 1666

What does Charles say the recent fire has shown about building construction?

Answer:

Brick, and not timber, should be used in building construction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Charles explained that the Great Fire of London had shown that timber, a common construction material, was dangerous in the event of a fire. Those built using bricks had lesser damage, so Charles decided that would be the only construction material allowed from then on.
