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.

(at least) twenty foot flamesmy story now.
I was at a friend's housewarming, in her back yard is a mini-orchard. Plenty of space for 'jolly' morons. We'd brought over loads of wood, but you know how these things go, a few drinks and the old christmas tree seems like an ACE idea.
Pine sap, says my friend. I'm sure I've seen Ray Mears do something with that, says I.
Onto the fire it went.
Fire went higher than her two-story gabled semi.
Then the tree exploded.
Onto people relaxing on deckchairs.
Carnage.
