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.

Uni hallsTowards the end of my uni halls experience i came back from viewing flats to find my flatmates at the time lookin harrassed and a bit teary, smoke marks up the wall and one girl with broken arm/wrist.turns out one of them had been frying eggs but left the oil on for too long,naturally it caught fire. so quick thinkin flatmate no.1 attempts to use fire blanket but coz the cooker was electric and they hadn't turned it off (i assume this was the reason)she was flung back across the room and ended up with broken bone.next,flatmate2 ignores the appropriate extinguisher in the kitchen and rushes to the hallway and gets a water extinguisher!!needless to say this didn't work, cue much more flamage.fire alarm in the flat didn't work,eventually must have found one that did or somethin,can't really remember(too much drugs) was all ok, didn't have a cooker for weeks after tho, just a deep fat fryer.
also had a friend who once managed to set fire to the pasta she was cookin, i thought that was most impressive.
