Fire!We were all in my aunt's kitchen at the back of her huge rambling Victorian house. I was only small and had wandered off to go to the loo, but given up after finding the hall full of smoke. "That was quick," my mum said after a few minutes. "Yes - it's all smoky," I replied.
I've never seen adults move so fast.
So, like my cousin who'd managed to set fire to the roof, tell us your fire stories.

aerosol cans+open fire = FUNPicture the scene....three 13 year old herberts clustered round a Sega system playing Pole Postition....one of the herberts spots the roaring fire in the front room nearby...he also spots several cans of hairspray left by an older sister.
Gathering up the aerosol cans the aforementioned herbert, his eyes a-sparkle, runs into the front room and deposits the volatile load onto the fire.
His 2 friends soon follow him into the room only to be greeted by him screaming 'get down!' at the top of his lungs as the cans of hairspray explode, flinging the Fire grate across the room, embedding it in the wall , setting fire to the nearby curtains & carpet and demolishing most of the brick work around it.
Later the herbert's friend's mother returned from a long day at work to find three rather sooty faced and guilty looking little cherubs desperately trying to superglue her fireplace back together.
