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.

baldy embarrassmenti was always fascinated by fire when i was a kid, still am.
once i was sitting in my bedroom - crosslegged and wearing only pants - in front of a small glass into which i was squirting lynx deodorant. i'd fill it, drop my lighter into it, get a big flame... and then i'd repeat the process.
i got a bit cocky after a bit, and just kept on spraying - i knew i was making a big puddle of gas and alcohol fumes. so when i dropped my lighter - WOOF! massive bloody flames! all up me legs!
the upshot was i burnt all the hairs off my legs - except for the bits that were hidden by my one led crossed over the other. looked really odd playing rugby with stripey/hairy/baldy legs for two months til it all grew back.
