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.

About twelve years ago...
Sitting typing at my old Amstrad word processor in my bedroom. My sister comes and knocks on the door.
"Can you come and move your car?"
"I'm a bit busy, can't it wait?"
"No, seriously, can you move your car?"
"Why?"
"Because the fire engine can't get up the driveway."
"?"
"Yeah, a couple of pounds of burning soot just fell into the fireplace and I think the living room might be about to go on fire. So anyway, can you move your car?"
