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.

Me and my mates were being drunk and stupid at a party;
We were messing around with deodorants and stuff in my mates back garden. We were doing the usual thing of spraying things and seeing how they reacted when you put a flame to them, naturally some things got the alien flamethrower effect better than others.
So we blew up a couple of lighters in a bucket, boring stuff and then we found this can of radiator spray paint. We pressed the top down and lit it and i swear the flame went about 4 foot, to us it was amazing.
So in our drunken states we reasoned that we couldn't set fire to many other things in the garden without setting fire to his house potentially. So we went across the road....
Now across the road there was a metal hut in a field used for training for football or something. So we went over and set the can on its side with the nozzle against the wall of the hut and with a pavement stone holding the base steady. The can was that powerful it kept pushing the block out of the way - eventually i held it in place and lit the stream.
This is what it looked like

Because it was a huge fucking stone holding it in place tho rather than my puny fingers, it was coming out all the more faster. At first it wouldn't light because it kept putting the flame out from the force of the gas and paint, then this flame covered my head and body for about half a second. I panicked and shook my fingers through my hair and stuff as you would!
We stepped back and the flame was about 5 foot high, maybe more - then we ran like fuck.
Cut to an hour later, us all sat in my mates house with me shitting ten covered head to foot with radiator paint, stinking of fire and burnt flesh. My hair and eyebrows burnt. Add to that drunk people from the party complaining about why the lights were out.
Oh yeah, i think there were 3 fire engines, two ambulances and two police cars. I never went back to my mates house again from fear.
