This is a question 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?

Quite the opposite of starting a fire,
but a result of someone playing with fire. Living in the southeastern bit of America, I'd say about a quarter of the population are drunken buttmongers. Most hospitals have a building or something for recovering alcoholics/drug addicts. I know someone who works here, and fun stories are common. This happened last week about. An old man sits in a room. Alone. With a lighter. He gets bored, and decides to set random bits of paper and anything else he can find on fire. Eventually he gets bored and holds mr. lighty up to the lovely shiny fire sprinklers. Foosh! Alarms go off, water everywhere. The patients rush around in a stupor, the employees panic, and the expensive hi-tech equipment fizzles quietly. In the end, about a million dollars' damage is done. I love alcoholics. :|
