I almost burnt the house down

I’m staying at my sisters house as they went on holiday for 3 days.

I put my pizza in the oven and a piece of some weird black stuff caught alight.

I don’t know what it was but when I looked in the oven there were flames in it fml.

I threw water on it and thank God it went out.

What a scary situation

Do you have an electric oven or a gas oven?

Thank goodness you’re okay. :v:

Every time i go out i go to the kitchen and look at each stove nob seperatly and i check if the water boiler cord is out of the wall…also i watch if everything in my room is out of the socket. Its a ritual.

Jeez, be careful!

Good you managed not to panic and got the fire out, A stove top burner I never used started on fire when i turned it on, had greese on it, I put a big pot lid over it and it smothered it, now I wipe the burners everytime I clean the top of the stove

My roast and the pan it was in caught fire in the oven in my old place. Never throw water on a grease fire so I coolly pulled out the rack with the burning roast and burning pan, went to the cupboard and got some baking soda and threw a ton of it on there until It went out. It ruined a good roast but it was quick thinking.

Sometimes I think of burning down the house for the insurance money. Jk

No that really happened to me, my roast caught fire.

Many years ago I had a yellow hair dryer that blew up. Bang! I saw a flicker of flame inside. Pulled out the plug and just let the fire go out on its own. Planned obsolescence, you think?
