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.

Candle FunFor haloween last week i bought a skull shaped candel, on of these cheap ass orange asda things.
Anyway, it burnt down leaving about half the wax, so i warmed it in the overn on a tray a little bit and the squished it all around a twisted peice of paper to act as a wick. I let it set, took it back up to my room.
Lit it.
Started playing doom 3.
Noticed that my room was very hot.
Looked at the candle. Now no more than a puddle of boiling wax with a large circle of paper in it burning feircly. At this point the flames were about 8 inches high. I decided that this was a bit silly and leaned forward to blow it out, knocking over an almost empty glass of water.
Water + Oil + Fire = MASSIVE FLAME
The flame at this point was as wide as the ash tray and my hight. Paniking, i took the only material i could think of - the shorts i was wearing - and beat out the fire, spraying little drops of hot wax all over the room.
Fire avoided! Please take heed: Dont re-make crappy asda 50p candles without care, and dont ghet water on them. Ever.
