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.

I almost burned down my halls of residenceI had a curling iron that I'd bought in Canada. Instead of using a proper adapter I just bent the prongs and plugged it in. As it was heating up I went to the kitchen to chat to someone. When I smelt smoke I rushed back to my room to find it glowing bright red and my shelf on fire. Something to do with 110v in Canada versus 220v in England. Details, details.
Someone on my floor managed to put out the fire with an extinguisher (amazing, those dusty things actually do work), but there was loads of mess and fire alarms and panic, etc.
I didn't care about the room, I'm just glad I didn't burn my hair with it.
