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.

Cooker-explodey death
I was round at a friend's house cooking sausages and chips under a gas grill. They were cooking better on one side than the other. Dodgy grill, we thought. So we took them out from under the grill to turn them around, and as we did that, there was a WHOOSH and a three-foot flame shot up and melted the (broken anyway) extractor fan. After thinking for about three seconds about using the fire blanket, we ran and rang the fire brigade.
The sad part was that she got hugged by firemen and I didn't.
