» Have you ever started a fire?

The fire was happily contained, but...
I decided one day to microwave myself a baked potato. I put it in the microwave, set the time, and went off to play computer games. Later on, I heard a crack and I smelt smoke, and ran into a dim and smoke filled kitchen. As I ran to the back door, I looked to my left, and saw flames in the microwave! The potato had been cooking for nearly and hour, and it had turned into a small lump of charcoal, and was sat flaming in its ceramic bowl, which had cracked in half because of the heat! The microwave never worked again, but being fairly new, my mother blagged a new one from the store!
