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.

Turns out that ovens- especially ones with broken temperature knobs aren't good as temperature regulated pyro heating devicesRecently while mixing certian garden chemicals and a certian other cooking ingredient, I needed to melt the two together, my parents wouldn't allow me to put a pyrotechnic mixture on the gas hob in case it overheated and ignited. I eventually persuaded them that the oven would be safe- I could set it with an 80* safety buffer and the temperature was regulated.
The only problem is that the temperature dials on our oven are broken and you can't see what temperature you are setting them to- I have since found out that I set it 60* to hot and a 20* safety buffer isn't enough.
After pre-heating the oven and putting the mix in , it was taking a long time to melt so I went to play on the computer while I waited. The door was shut so the next I knew was mum coming in and going apeshit at me- the entire downstairs of our, fairly largeish, house was full of smoke and she only knew about it because she had been upstairs and had smelt it.
The oven was ok apart from a white residue which easily came off but I have since been banned from putting any of my pyro in the oven.
