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.

Naked kitchen fire rampageMy ex-wife was cooking tea after having had a bath one evening. Whilst heating some oil in a pan, the phone rang. It was her mother and so a lengthy conversation began.
Of course, she forgot all about the pan of hot oil on the hob until smoke filled the flat and flames were licking up towards the ceiling in the kitchen.
Quick as a flash, she grabs the nearest towel (the one wrapped around her after her bath) and tries to use it to smother the flames.
It is at this point that I return home from work, to find the flat full of smoke, my wife running round naked shrieking and the mother-in-law shouting down the abandoned phone wondering what the hell was going on.
I calmly put out the fire, reassured the in-law everything was okay, then promptly burst into laughter which garnered me a filthy look from the wife.
oh happy days.
