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.

Mate of mine who will remain namelesswas left in his parents house for a week when he was 17 while they went on holiday. Two days before they got back he fell asleep watching the telly with a tea light on top. Then a little later he awoke to find the tea light flawed and the TV full of wax and on fire. Like any sensible person he ran into the kitchen, grabbed a tea towel, soaked it in the sink until it was dripping wet and ran back to throw it over the TV, which went 'bang'.
Two days later his parent returned from holiday to find the majority of their house not there. It wasn't funny then and it's not now, but at least we all know not to put tea lights on top of TVs. Or soaking wet tea towels.
