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.

chemistry teachers. bless.3rd year chem class, and we are learning about flash point temperatures in different materials. I accidentally set light to a lageish beaker of hexane. I panic, and hurl it into the sink by the workbench. Mr Cowe, seeing the immpressive conflagration, rushes over. I panic more, and turn the cold water tap on full power. Flaming hexane splashes over me, and a big part of the classroom. No injuries, and only minor damage, but several weeks detention. I still have dreams about how cool it looked, though...
