A fire? I started a beauty!
About a year and a half ago, I went up to a friends place in Devon and we got very drunk. On exiting the final pub, we went to find something to do. This town is at the mouth of a big river and there is a large bay, the edge of which is a path leading to the next place on the coast with a grassy bank stretching down to the water. There is also a boat yard here. After swimming in the river (Oh yes. A bloody great idea that), and being rude to people on passing trains (it's right by the station) we raided the boatyard and managed to find a packet of flares. In attempting to set one off, I dropped the pack and the long grass of the river bank instantly caught alight due to the dry weather. We ran. About an hour later (apprx 3:00am) I went back to see if it'd gone out and there were three fire engines on the scene. Next day inspections showed that we'd managed to burn about 100m of the river bank to black. I'm sorry.
