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.

Destorying a Field..... By Accident!!Lets set the scene, me and a few mates with the required annoying sibling were out in the middle of summer. Having found one of those dry wipe markers we see that there flammable, being young and male we decide this is a theory that need proving. So we disappear to a field boundary where footpath meets Christmas tree field.
So after much pissing about we find that you can't light these pens. While we were trying to burn this damn pen the annoying sibling had insisted on burning bits of newspaper.
After slapping him he knocked it on the floor and we continued messing about. Cue 3ft flames and the shout of 'fire!'. Being upstanding citizens we strolled over to the small stream about 200m away and while we were searching for a bucket I turned around to see that the 3ft fire has become a 30ft fire and is doing very well by burning all the dry grass. Having stared at it for 30secs we did what anyone would have done, we legged it.
On returning a few days later we found the fire had burnt 100 meters of dry grass and most of a field, still didn’t get caught so it’s all good.
