Have you ever started a fire?I went to sleep with candles burning - woke up to a circle of flame on the rug. Thought, "Tits. Better put the rug in the bath and turn the taps on." TIP: Don't put a burning rug into a fibre glass bath. I caused about £5000 of damage to the house and was coughing up smoky black phlegm for a few weeks. Can you beat that?

Oven fireWhen I was at uni in Wolverhampton, our oven caught fire and I noticed when I got in and the smoke alarms had failed to go off and the entire house was full of smoke, but no-one upstiars noticed. When I opened the oven door the flames licked out and burned my face and the girls from upstairs came running down. They called the fire brigade and once I had got the fire out they arrived.
As I was being bundled into an ambulance to go to the burns unit for my hands and face I heard the fireman in the white helmet (Guv i think his name was) tell Kate that the oven caught fire because it wasn't clean and she should get down on her hands and knees and clean it sometime cos it's womans work!
