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.

Fire!Don't play with fire! I once thought it would be fun to play with an aerosol and a box of matches. One large fire and a next-door neighbours' car later and I had CID banging on my door at 6am.
Unfortunately it didn't end there, thinking that I could get away with it I ended up dragging my family and my sorry ass through the magistrates and ultimately the crown court. I ended up with a conviction for arson. Thankfully the judge took pity on me and decided not to put me in the slammer, as clearly I looked like prime bumming material.
Some day I'll look back on all of this and (sob) laugh.
