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.

traumatically hilariousMy brother, who may well be reading this, was set on fire while dressed as a sheep. For a houseparty one year, he stuck cotton wool balls on a t shirt, a pair of shorts and on a little cap on his head. Have you ever seen a cotton wool ball catch fire? light one and see what happens. A friend of his thought it would be amusing to "singe" his coat, and he instead went up in a ovine fireball. I was downstairs at said party when someone shouted; "schnuff, your brother's on fire" which I took to mean in the fonz sense, rather than literally. Luckily through quick thinking he took his ouffit off and ran nude into the shower. His friend got second degree burns trying to put him out. Luckily, my brother was remarkably unscathed. The mental scars are probably still healing though.
