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 and gut reactionsScience lesson at school- i cant remember for the life of me what we were doing but it involved a few ingredients, three of which were fire and cotton wool and alcohol (not meant to be used together/mixed without proper equip!).
Anyhow this fella accidentally set fire to the cotton wool and, in his haste to put it out did what we all do to small things on fire...
he tried to blow it out- hard.
Obviously being cotton wool it flew rather than extinguished and caught in some of the alcohol vapours creating a bit of a flash that, as it occured straight in front of his partners face, made him go Daz white avec fear.
The moral- dont try to blow out cotton wool- it doesnt work!
