Just went back and I seen this post... I did something simular to this one once also. Except I was turning water on for pasta and the pan sitting on the burner that I turned on by mistake was one of those aluminum throw away pans. And the oven sat right next to the back door in our very tiny kitchen. - can you see where this is going?
Yeah it burned straight through the pan, which caught the curtains to the window in the door on fire. And wouldn't ya know... the smartest place to hang the fire extinguisher was on the wall BEHIND the stove next to the door... so I couldn't get to it with out risk of burning the &^%$ out of my self!
I'm actually still not sure how I managed to get the extinguisher off the wall with out getting burned, but I did manage to eventually get to it and get the fire put out. My mother how ever was NOT happy when she got home. But no serious damage was done. Some one/thing was definitely watching over me that day!
