This is a question 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?

Oh, some more
Same camping trip this Febuary as the last post- have just got a new girlfriend, everyone else had gone into the tents (it was only about 11, but it had got dark around 7 so we'd been drinking since then) and we lay down by the fire in a pretty romantic way, as far as getting covered in mud counts as romantic. After about ten minutes, my foot feels kind of odd, and I think nothing of it till it hurts, then break away to look at it and my shoe was on fire. I decided to beat it out instead of suavely kicking it off and carrying on.

The night before, I'd wandered up the hill back towards the road on the phone to my friend Helena, when I came back (it was a 10 minute walk) the bottle of Jack Daniels we'd finished had exploded in my mate's hand when he held it near the fire, but I'm still not totally sure how this could've happened.

Finally, and the least impressive (though none were too good) a friend of mine has a big garden with a tree in it, but their dad just chopped it down at halloween (it had been rotting for ages) They were having a party that night, so they put logs around it and set it on fire, it burnt for about a week and is still basically all there, it just won't go.
