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.

Flaming hairA few months back, I was sitting in a fairly nice restaurant with candles on the tables. My parents had yet to arrive, and I was waiting around, when something possessed me to lean over the table to grab something on the other side. My hair went into the fire, and there was a few seconds of trying to put the fire out with my hands and generally looking like a spazz. There was no noise at all, though, and people just kept on eating and ignoring the flaming girl in the middle of the restaurant. Only the sushi chef noticed, and he looked at me like I was crazy for a few seconds, and went right back to making sushi.
Miraculously, my hair survived, and I didn't notice any difference at all when I next brushed it, like nothing had happened. Perhaps it was a hallucination.
