fire

I am almost certain that i burnt up somebody's house . Well, more like blew it up. i cannot remember for sure if i emptied the ashtray or not. If I did, I caused the fire. The fire was in the trash can next to the toilet but the trash can got so hot that the pipe in the toilet exploded!
The house, of course, all had smoke damage but the kitchen had extensive water damage.
They were trying to put in a new bathroom anyway.
But there were four small children in the house at the time, me and the parents of the children. It was absolutely terrifying.
The youngest, he was three but really small. It took so long to find him wrapped up in the sheet!
That was so much worse than the night my father-in-law set his mattress on fire by dropping a lighter!

WOW you got extreamly lucky... Most start at night when everyone is sleeping... That is pretty scary though that's for sure... lucky it happened when you were awake and not sleeping...
