Ever set fire to something?

cantdecide

My mate and I are restoring an old motorbike and he accidentally set fire to the engine when it was on the bench covered in paint stripper. Fcukin' WOW is all I can say. Flames were licking the ceiling!! Scary stuff but managed to get the fire out and it only cost me my new jacket:rolleyes:

Burned a hole in my pocket many a time ...

A shed.

Hallyington

In a forest near my town and found a plastic pony and a one of those big plastic cars. Set fire to both and like a phoenix it the pony went flying down a hill into some shrubbery. Long story short i nearly set fire to the towns forest. Luckily i had a bag (with a hole in it) so i ran up and down getting water from a river.

Somethings, like fuel line leaks and surgery on small animals shouldn't fall under the D.I.Y. category.

I lived in cork for a few months 2 years ago. There a day and I managed to set fire to the kitchen. Scary stuff

My dad was really weary of me moving out, I always burn food, smoke alarms go off once a day. He says when the phone rings at night he's convinced its to be told I've burned the place down.

A few weeks ago I was going to bed and thought I'd get a glass of water, decided not to, got into bed. Was really thirsty so went into the kitchen, I had left the hob thing on and the oven tray on top of it. By the time I realised, the kitchen was full of smoke, few flames on the tray, the whole thing was mangled out of shape. Thank god I was thirsty, my smoke alarm wasn't working. Sometimes my parents ring me to remind me to check the oven before bed! I won't even say how many times I've set this kitchen up in flames

I remember when I was about 9 and my brother would of been 12, we went to the green around the cornor from our house, on the far side was a car that had been robbed and dumped there. We went up to it, opened it and took a look inside. It was full of sick, empty cans, and smoke butts. We searched it and found a small amount of change. My brother then found a box of matches and then stared to light the back seat on fire, once it caught fire and really started to smoke we bolted home and watched the fire brigade come to put it out. He went on to burn many things for many years after it, Wheelie bins was a fav and I'm sure it was him who also burned down part of the school he was kicked out of.

Lots of action men figures when I was a kid. Burn G.I Joe!!! They served as wounded and scarred veterans afterwards.

Most entertaining when you are seven.

Throwing aerosol cans in a refuse fire and running away was my fave thing to do

Nearly burned forestry years ago, and nearly set fire to my student house lighting the fire with petrol.

I did. But immigration caught up with him so we burned him too.

Aerosol cans, petrol bottles, turf, coal, bonfires (I got good at lighting them, even if they were damp from the rain), food packaging (the cartoon the garlic chips came in), to list a few.

Can't say, I've burned much in my life. But I had a friend who hit the jackpot. As a kid he was playing around near a large old warehouse near the docks in Dublin. He lit a fire using rubbish near the building. But the sparks got on the roof and it went up in flames. It was a huge fire like something you'd see in footage of a war. Every fire brigade in Dublin was fighting it. I remember it because you could see the black smoke from all over Dublin and it featured on the news. He was horrified at what he did and went into hiding until it got dark. But he was paranoid about every knock on the door for a long time afterward.

Something similar happened in my area. Some kids were playing around the local school hall which was a big building. A window was open and one boy lit the curtains. It was a massive blaze again with black smoke rising up into the sky. Completely burnt out. At one point a Cessna light aircraft appeared and flew around watching the spectacle. Then it accidently flew straight into the black cloud of smoke. The watching crowd gasped in horror as no doubt did the occupants of the plane. But it escaped unharmed. Great excitement.

Burnt the kitchen in one house I lived in.

The next house I moved to, the entire top floor went up in flames. Thank you Mother Nature for letting the sun shine that day. Otherwise, the kids would have been upstairs in their rooms. Local fire brigade still have the photos of that house fire on their website even though it was 8 years ago.

My pants after quite a hot curry.

We had an old gas cooker which had a button to spark the hob / grill / oven when you turn a knob. Our cat managed to tear the cable out so we always had to use matches to light it.

The grill was always the worst to light. One time, while trying to put on some tasty chicken burgers, I had the match up to the grill but it just wouldn't ignite. Sure enough, I left it too long and a big ball of flame engulfed my eyebrows.

Rotten smell of burnt hair stunk out the kitchen. Chicken burgers were still nice, though, even if I had bits of burnt hair falling onto my plate :pac:

On a serious note mate I'd get post its etc.. to remind yourself to check things, before going to bed etc... know of a friend of a friend who died in a house fire and didn't have working smoke alarm

The Snipe

Some mates of mine couldn't get a campfire going last night, and as I arrived down they bet me I couldn't do any better (After me slagging them for not being able to do it.) Of course, they forgot that I'm a fire breather, and my bag was full of all my stuff. So out came my torch and my fuel, and then we had a nice little fire going for a while! And it looked really really cool creating a campfire from my mouth! :P

Have you a really bad memory or are you just an incredibly bad cook? It's hard to burn food. And other stuff.

I know this chubby burd what tried to set fire to the rain once.

Cú Giobach

A very large teddy bear in the wardrobe in my younger brother's bedroom while he was asleep when I was about 6 or 7, I shut the wardrobe door, went back to my room and went to bed hoping the "problem" would go away.

Fortunately (and I can't stress that word enough) one of my parents had to go to the toilet and smelled the smoke.
