Kurt's House Goes Up In Flames!

[Tonichelle]

My brother spilled some water on a mattress, and used an iron to dry it out. He left the iron switched on and left it on the mattress. When he was sixteen.

Just sayin'

set fire to the kitchen at the same age. mom had left a pot of oil and I accidentally turned on the wrong burner on the stove... WOOSH!

Better than me. I set myself on fire, leaning over a gas stove to open a cabinet that was above it. My loose shirt tail got into the burner. Thank goodness I remembered, "Stop, drop, and roll," from grammar school presentations by the fire department.

A friend of mine lit himself on fire when he poored lighter fluid over the - what he thought was - dead campfire...

Whoa!

I was a firebug as a kid, and thankfully nothing came of it. I did have a close call, once tho. lol

Gosh, you guys are making the use-the-leaf-blower-to-dry-the-car-INSIDE-the-garage seem downright sensible!
