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.

All for loveA few months back a friend had the idea of getting me to light a few candles while he was out with his lady. The plan was simple until I saw how many of the little 'Tea lights' he'd set up, 10 mins later and in a increasing hot room I have about 80 lit.
The center piece for the whole thing was a big old style candle stick with 3 normal tall candles burning away.
I text him on the way out saying 'It's done but get home quick if you can it's getting a bit hot in there'
Too hot as it turns out, the tea lights melted the candels in the holder and they fell over. Instead of hitting the floor they fell sideways and leaned against the wall. Luckily it was only a small blaze as he opened the door to 'surprise' his good lady.
He doesn't blame me though and apparently was going to repaint that wall anyway.
