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.

ex-pyroi could ramble on about my flaming exploists for many a day, but alas i shall only tell one.
i used to be a model rocketeer to, so i once cut open, using a kitchen knife, one of the solid fule rocket engine to see what made em go.
inside you can find a solid black carbon lik rod, when crumbled into powder, you get some cool effects when mixing it with a flame :)
but no, i needed more! so i chose to use a reasonably sized chunk, some pliers, a gardening glove and a disposable lighter, i put the glove on my hand, safety first and all that, and with my gloved hand held the pliers holding the fules, then lit it with my other hand expecting a big bang/puff, not a 30cm long blue flame roaring into my non gloved finger, cooking it to the bone.
After a few days the skin fell off, and then you could see all the workings of a finger, luckilly i didnt have any feeling in it, but its all healed back now, and im typing with thevery finger :)
