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.

cooker maintenancenote to self (and grungy mates)
cookers spontaneously combust if
A, you dont clean them for a year
B, you forget it is still on after you removed the tuna bake you are cooking - four hours later
C, you attempt to investigate the source of 'that rubbery burning smell' by opening the door of the cooker.
superheated oil + oxygen = scene from backdraft.
and lack of eyebrows.
luckily the conflagration can be contained, mainly by falling over backwards in panic screaming and watching the weighted door seal itself again, thus cutting oxygen out of the backdraft equation.
fun AND education
