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.

FirewoodSame camp, same mate. We were giving the task of going to search for firewood in the local woods late at night. We set out and 1 hour later reappeared with a piano. Yes - an upright piano that had been abandoned in the woods. It had taken us 5 minutes to find it and 55 to carry it back - a) it was heavy and b) the back was missing so everytime we brushed against some shrubbery, we were greeted with a sound like the angels strumming a harp, which caused us both to collapse in fits of girly gigglish glee.
Mind you, the look on the faces of everyone when we appeared with a mostly functioning piano was worth every scratch and bruise. Especially when we slung it on the fire and proceeded to play it.
Ah happy days.
Apologies for bum hair.
