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.

ScientistsI work in a lab and generally we pass the necks of bottles through a bunsen flame to make sure they are sterile before we pour the contents out. I found out the other day that it's not a good idea to do this with a bottle of ethanol! Oops!! The next day someone else managed to set fire to the tubing of their bunsen burner but never actually thought that it would be a good idea to switch the gas off! Just goes to show scientist really don't have much common sense!
