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.

What fun we had!Back in my school days, I was in a chemstry lesson where we were doing a little experiment involving ethanol, pipettes and bunsen burners. We had been told to 'be extremely careful as ethanol is highly flammable.' After a few minutes whatever I was meant to be doing got a bit boring, so, I sucked up a little ethanol in to my pipette the squirted it through the flame of the bunsen, resulting in a little fire ball! Ace thought I, and repeated the experiment with a little more ethanol. Like the budding scientist that they were my fellow classmates copied my example, leading into a full blown fire ball war! It ended (when the teacher re-entered the room) with a few scorched desks, some singed hairs, a burnt wall display and the biggest detention ever!
