Have you ever started a fire?I went to sleep with candles burning - woke up to a circle of flame on the rug. Thought, "Tits. Better put the rug in the bath and turn the taps on." TIP: Don't put a burning rug into a fibre glass bath. I caused about £5000 of damage to the house and was coughing up smoky black phlegm for a few weeks. Can you beat that?

I haven't.... But....When my brother was about seven, he used to read books in bed instead of going to sleep. My mum kept telling him off for it, so he decided instead of stopping, he'd cover his lamp with a t-shirt to dim the light so she couldn't tell it was on. The first time he tried this, he fell asleep reading and woke up to find his bedroom on fire. Needless to say, he always went to sleep when he was meant to from then on...
A fairly boring story, but it illustrates for all budding arsonists out there (and I know you're there) the fact that volatile liquids and naked flames aren't nescessary to start fires... ;D
