This is a question 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.

have a few fire stories me..
one time I was sitting at home watching telly (don't know what it was now, but it must have been pretty good)
I decided to fill my zippo with lighter fluid and proceeded to do so. I wasn't really paying attention to what I was doing since I was watching telly at the same time.
when done I tried the lighter to see that it worked. turned out I had spilt lighter fluid on my hand while filling the lighter and it was now set ablaze. I have played around with lighter fluid before, but this caught me slightly off guard. in a split second I started patting my hand against my leg to extinguish the flames only to discover that I had spilt quite a lot of lighter fluid on my leg too.
Now I sat there with both my hand and my leg flaming and slightly panicing. luckily I had a towel nearby that I had used while changing water in my fishtank earlier and managed to do away with the fire using that.

more to come when I get home from work...
