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.

1 Grandad. 3 seperate occasions...1. Grandad decides to hold a bonfire in the garden for his two daughters and their friends... Said fire is an absolute monster and soon gets out of control and burns the trees above. It then spreads to shed and obliterates that too.
2. Grandad nails a Catherine Wheel to utility room door. Unfortunately he nails it down to hard and when he lights it it refuses to spin. It then burns the utility room door down.
3. Back in the olden days you used to be able to get a firework called something like Jumping Jack... For obvious reasons it was banned.... Grandad lights one and stands back, it proceeds to jump around the garden most impressively. Then it proceeds to jump towards the open kitchen door, through it and round the kitchen. Fortunately it doesn't burn the kitchen down!
He rocked!
