Have you ever started a fire?I went to sleep with candles burning - woke up to a circle of flame on the rug. Thought, "Tits. Better put the rug in the bath and turn the taps on." TIP: Don't put a burning rug into a fibre glass bath. I caused about £5000 of damage to the house and was coughing up smoky black phlegm for a few weeks. Can you beat that?

oopsI was camping alone in Idaho, and therefore felt the need for a BIG fire (to ward off bears, etc). So I piled up the logs and torched em. I soon noticed that the heat and sparks rising from the flames were reaching the tops of the (very dry) trees...I could see the tops catching fire, so I very quickly doused my blaze and prayed that it wouldn't spread. Luckily, it died down and no wildfire followed. That's one way they get started though.
