RAGING INFERNO

Alright, so tonight, We were doing fireworks and everything was normal to begin with. We set up a ladder to set the big showers on. So far, it was a pretty typical 4th of July.
About half way through, Everyone wanted to bring out the bigger fireworks cause they were bored with throwing those stupid snapping things at each other and the cheap sparkling spinning things so I whipped out some of the fountains and started lighting them. After lighting a few, I stood back and watched. Little did I know I was in the line of fire. Someone threw a very small but loud firecracker behind me and when it went off, it scared the hell out of me. I took a few steps back and of course, I was right under the bigger fireworks that were shooting sparks and flames. At first, my pants caught on fire. I'm not really sure how that happened since the flames were mainly above me but the fire started going up my pants and eventually caught a little of my shirt on fire. I didn't really know what to do so I naturally started running around like a psycho meanwhile, I didn't even think to use the garden hose to put it out.
It eventually went out and I looked a bit like Tarzan when it was all over. All in all, I caught on fire, and I probably won't be going near those damned things too much next time.

So the fire just went out from you running around? Interesting. You completely did the opposite of the stop, drop, roll rule lol. You ran like a maniac, you didn't mention that you dropped, instead hopped around like a baboon perhaps? Lol, did anyone like help pat out the fire or anything? Either way, sounds pretty extreme lol.

I actually don't know who threw it.

Nope, no help. They just stood back and laughed. :(

Wow, that would suck. But since they all laughed instead of helping, they all deserve a good punch in the nerds. :)

My 4th of July consisted of 8 hours of work in which our store got a power outage and we had to sit around and watch the Simpsons for an hour. Darn.

my pants caught on fire. I'm not really sure how that happened you're just that sexy - deal with it.
no but really, I can't help but chuckle at the lack of stop drop and roll (you probably fueled it worse by running around). anyway, there's a reason that july 4th and new years are some of the worst times for "accidents". ;)
