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.

When I was fairly smallI liked to conduct slightly odd experiments. most were fairly harmless, unfortunately - at the worst a bit smelly.
One of them, however, involved flicking a metal watch strap across the half pushed in prongs of a plug. There was a loud bang and a flash, and all the lights went out.
Unfortunately, when the lights came on, the extension socket on my desk was fairly melted, and there were burn marks all around it, so I was unable to pretend it wasn't my fault the fuse blew.
