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.

MethsWhile camping in the bleak mountains of Wales, I was cold and hungry, so tried to make myself a cup-a-soup.
Unfortunately I stood a little too near the trangie (meths-powered campfire) and when I spilled water, a jet of burning meths left the stove and shot 5ft in the air, towards the tents.
Cue hilarity and beatings as my friends made me understand the stupidity of my actions.
