Have you ever experienced fires in your home or very close by you?

The house next to my apartment but i wasn't around when it happened. I saw a video though, it was a bit huge but no one got hurt thank God.

Several. The worst experience for me was when I was 13, living in Daytona Beach. A pesticide extermination plant across the street from where we lived caught fire and burned to the ground. My grandparents' old home, which my aunt (their daughter) lived in, also burned to the ground, but I didn't actually witness that fire.

I haven't tried. If it is, things will be differently. I would rather have my possessions stolen by a thief than house being burned down. Since there is nothing left after the fire incident.

Yes. Just a couple of years ago the house behind us caught fire. :( I remember my dog woke me up barking around 2 in the morning, and when I got up she ran to the kitchen. I could see flames shooting out one of the upstairs windows.

That's pretty scary... I experienced that maybe two or three times. I remembered when a fire broke near the university where I work. It was a home nearby. I watched the flames consume the house and the smoke where so thick.

Yes my friend, fire especially a big fire is very scary.

In December of 2014, we were awaken by a loud voice shouting "get out of the house!' When we look out of the window, we saw our sister's house on fire. And it's just a few steps away from my parents. I ran there without thinking how i was dressed and rescued my nephew. The house was burned to ashes with nothing left.

That is really terrifying. I am very blessed that I have not experienced that.

Never had a fire close by but there are lots of forest fires during the summer in other areas further away.

There's this one time. We were at work and it was late at night like 11 pm or something. Then one of my co-worker shouted "hey guys check this out!", so from the window we saw one of the buildings outside just a few blocks away from us caught fire. The fire was blazing! I know it was terrible for those who live or work in that building but a part of me tells me the fire looked beautiful and I just want to take a selfie near the scene. I know I'm a bad person.
