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.

Just talking to an old school mateAnd he reminded me of the time I took apart shotgun shells for the little semi spheres of joy :)
I packed the charge into a metal test tube like holder from a centrifuge, hammered the end shut and with a home made fuse (length of masking tape with a 10:1 sugar:potassium permanginate mix) set it off in the woods near school.
I was almost deaf for a month. The old oak tree it was resting near was felled about 3 months later...
