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.

A few months agoMy computer was giving me some problems and my hard drive was making a sort of chugging sound, so I decided to have a butchers - I'm not I.T trained or anything, but I'm fairly savvy when it comes to computers so I decided to actually have my hard drive apart and see if I could fix it. I found what I thought the problem was, sorted it and put it back together, then reattached it to my PC and fired it up. I don't know what I did wrong, but the electronic components on the exposed part of the board began to glow red hot and there was a distinct smell of burning. So what did I do? Well I touched it of course ... and burned my finger something terrible. Really, it was awful. The thing seared my skin, like I'd been branded or something. Then the glowing things made a popping noise and burst into flames, at which I panicked, ripped the thing out and slung it into the sink.
My housemate found it hilarious, of course.
