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.

for some reason,when I was at college, the Christian Union, which I ran, was asked to take part in the Christmas carnival. We were requested to dress up as presents, and carry lit torches alongside the floats, asking for money. For some reason we agreed...
We had this handicapped guy with us, and for some reason, he was also given a flaming torch, and set to walk just behind my then girlfriend in her cardboard box wrapped in crepe paper. He kept getting kind of hypnotised by the fire, and gradually lowering it down so it was almost touching the packaging on my gf's costume, and I spent the entire parade trying to prevent my grlfriend from going up in flames.
Sorry - he never actually succeeded in his attempt at cooking my girlfriend, which I realise would have made it a more interesting story...
