Being a fondue party, we had burners with metho in them. And, being very sensible, I decided that we should light the burners over the stove, rather than on the table.*
Unfortunately, as well as being sensible, I'm also a complete klutz.
When I poured the metho into the burners, I managed to spill a fair bit of it onto the stove. Without realising.
So, the moment we lit the burners, the entire stove caught on fire...
Thankfully this didn't last very long, but in the meantime we all just basically stood there, watching the huge flames, and wondering what to do if they didn't die down.

*In retrospect, this was a very good decision.
