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.

Fire Magnetism By ProxyMe and my missus have this condition - we attract fire by accident.
On our 1st date to the cinema (Finding Nemo was the film of choice) the popcorn maker caught fire and we had to be evacuated. We then walked back into the cinema when the manager said it was safe, a genius member of staff then decided to turn it back on again, prompting another fire. We decided to go for a walk back to mine at this point, where we drank a rather considerable amount of absinthe and baileys.
At my 18th party, me and a group of people decided to have a Ruby Murray before going out on the lash - the restaurant caught fire, and we got the meals for free. Not bad really.
My worst moment was probably when I was about 6 and I was cooking with my nan. She was doing a fry up for my grandad and I was "helping", as 6 year olds do. I then proceeded to grab a bottle of whisky, thinking it was vinegar for the chips. I opened the bottle and placed it by the side of the cooker. I then jumped up onto the counter and knocked the whisky onto the frying pan.
A Big whoosh of fire, two curtains going ablaze, one severely screwed fry up, a very distressed mum, and a hospital trip later, and I still have burn scars on my left arm from it all.
