This is a question 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.

This is a QotW answer My ruined hair.
Beavering away in 3rd year Biology, we had the bunsens out. For some reason I decided to leave mine on as I was writing my notes. A few moments later I notice the distinct smell of burning hair, and after looking around to see who had been stupid enough to do something like that, I realise that it was in fact me who was on fire.

Thing that struck me most was how casual i was in turning the bunsen out, like it didnt matter.
