This is a question 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.

Right,
This is going to be hard to explain.

1) find a wall about 3 feet high
2) take a plastic game racket, similar to a tennis racket. Balance this on said wall (obviously doesn’t matter what you use, as long as it's plastic. It’s just what we had at hand)
3) at the base of the wall, underneath the racket, place a full can of butane lighter fuel, with yellow top removed.
4) Set fire to plastic racket.
5) Make sure molten plastic is dripping on can.
6) Wait with high expectations

If this is done correctly, the dripping molten plastic (with those wonderful “zip, zzzziiipppp, zip, zip” noises) eventually burns through the plastic valve insides of the can. When this happens, you get a geyser of bluish yellow flame about 7 feet tall.

It *roars*

And attracts police attention.

There are many, many others; but I would probably get into trouble if I told you them.
