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.

All's well that ends well...
Fell asleep leaving candles burning.
Lost back half of the house.
Family lucky to be alive.
Sat on smoke-damaged sofa in smoke-damaged lounge in smoke-damaged daze as firemen rushed about.
First words out of my mouth to my folks as I reach for my tabs: "Anyone got a light?"
Family ROFL - firemen give us wide berth.
Well, we were insured and Mum got a new kitchen!
Stay warm :¬)
