Fire!We were all in my aunt's kitchen at the back of her huge rambling Victorian house. I was only small and had wandered off to go to the loo, but given up after finding the hall full of smoke. "That was quick," my mum said after a few minutes. "Yes - it's all smoky," I replied.
I've never seen adults move so fast.
So, like my cousin who'd managed to set fire to the roof, tell us your fire stories.

My brother's hairI thought it would be a laugh to squirt lighter refill gas into the sucky end of my parent's hoover whilst it was on. Being wise beyond my years, I convinced my younger brother that he should hold a lit match to the hoover's output port thing at the same time. I can only describe the resulting noise as a deep 'crump!', the hoover jumped a few inches and stopped working.
After picking ourselves up and getting over the initial shock we noticed the horrible smell of burnt hair. Thinking it was just burnt hair in the hoover we didn't worry too much.
5 mins later, I hear my brother scream from the bathroom. He came running down the stairs clutching the side of his head where there used to be hair.
Fearing the wrath of my parents, I gave him a tenner (loads when you are 14) to go and get his hair cut.
The parents never knew and could'nt understand why their hoover suddenly stopped working.
