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.

Last year, me and a few mates were having a bbq, as you do.
Since we were students, and not actually having a proper bbq or fireplace, we had bought some of those nifty pre-prepared tinfoil/charcoal trays. Took them outside, put them on a table, lit them up, slapped on a few burgers and we're all go, right?
You've probably already spotted the mistake. Yep, it was a plastic table too. It was only when one of the girls started yelling that our table "has a willy!" that we realised that one of the trays had burnt straight through, leaving a 30cm long tube in the centre of the table, before the plastic finallly gave way.
