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.

Argue me ...neverAt school everyone (not just me)had been bollocked about not immediately complying with teachers instructions or shock horror even answering back.
Later still smarting from the telling off, a school friend decided it would be a cracking idea to put a lit bunsen burner and several million carrier bags into a sink (that importantly was made from some weird plastic)
Anyways I decided this was wrong and needed action,(I was ever so good a child.)so I got up went across the class past some others sinks to a large receptacle which I started the return journey with, stopping at a sink to fill with water. "Oi(it was Dagenham)empty that and sit down" says teach. What could I do? Do as instructed obviously...Admittedly it would be funnier if I could finish it off with a full school burning and multiple fire tenders but alas it was just paniced "FIRE" from the teacher, "yes I was going to put that out 5 minutes ago" from me, a melted sink and me filling an A4 sheet on why "having noticed a fire I did nothing" Der.. "because I was told not to" in big writing.
