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.

Chemistry Science lessons were never so enLIGHTening.Back at school, I was taken part in an experiment involving the combustion of lame chemicals in testtubes. Instead of doing this properly, I was fixated with the roaring flame so much so that I kept edging closer and closer towards it. Eventually I got so close that my hair ignited and I burnt off my eyebrows in the process.
If I hadn't been wearing my safety glasses, I'd have felt the heat and not burned myself. And they call them "safety glasses".
