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.

Hot LockDuring army basic training we kept our pristine equipment in our bedside lockers and always locked.
One of the lads had gone to the toilet, so for a joke we thought we would make his locker padlock redhot to touch as we knew he would return to open it, burn his hand, and this we would find hilarious!!
Using an aerosol and lighter, we fashioned together a crude blow torch and preceded to blast his lock with the red hot blue flame.
Of course this not only turned the lock searing hot but it also flashed through gap between the doors and set fire to his clothes.
Imagine, the locker was burning from the inside, smoke pouring out of the top and him unable to open the locker because the lock was too hot to touch.
How I laughed......I was jailed for 7 days for that little prank
