Redhat Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 I just put some fish under the grill, and didn't realise there were some left-over chips at the back of the tray. The chips caught fire with the aid of the fat from the fish, and as I opened the door to the oven all I could see were flames. Immediately called the fire brigade and got everyone in the area out. I was panicking and worried sick. It's not even my flat - it's my father's! He is away in leicester! Thankfully, it was all fine, and the (electrical) oven even survived. I, though, have nothing to eat now :( So a word of warning - be careful while cooking!! And always plan a way out if there is a fire. Check you are not overloading your plugs, and just generally be aware! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
