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?

I heated a poker red hotIn my house I have an open fire, and when it gets going there are red glowing embers at rthe bottom. One day I decided to heat up a poker in it. I left it, and on my return I found it glowing. When I put it onto a flammable object e.g. some wood stacked by the fire for burning, the object caught fire. Not being able to put it down, I went outside to cool it in a puddle, and saved my house from burning down.
