Have you ever started a fire?I went to sleep with candles burning - woke up to a circle of flame on the rug. Thought, "Tits. Better put the rug in the bath and turn the taps on." TIP: Don't put a burning rug into a fibre glass bath. I caused about £5000 of damage to the house and was coughing up smoky black phlegm for a few weeks. Can you beat that?

My birthday fireI was 16 and alone and hungry. I was 'cooking' some stuff when the frier caught fire. I sort of panicked and I threw water, on boiling oil. It made a crackling noise and the fire grew. I panicked more so I threw dirty clothes on it to put it out. They also took fire. I ran in the street shouting for help and got my uncle to help me. After burning the kitchen and my hand we finally put it out. Oh and it was my birthday. Moral - never throw water at burning oil and never throw dry clothes at a roaring fire in your kitchen
