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.

'Helping Hands'Anyone who does any soldering knows that those contraptions made of crocodile clips and magnifying glasses called 'Helping Hands' are good for holding stuff while your working on them. I had one for my AS level electronics coursework, and after tidying my room, left it on the windowledge.
In my south facing room.
In the middle of the summer term.
I got home early one day and my room smelt a bit weird... On closer inspection it turned out the magnifying glass had set fire to one of the curtains, as well as my chemistry textbook and my first year physics notes.
I keep it in a box now.
