and you can just call me a "firestarter"

OK, so another little blip in my world. So I was put a frying pan on the burner and proceeded to turn the stovetop onto about 7. Let's just say that about 3-4 minutes later, I see HUGE flames. I mean, flames that are going to like, kill people. I was soooooo scared, I put it out with a towel. I tried to open up the windows in my apt, but it was too late. The smoke permeated throughout my apt and out into the hallway. And the fire alarm in the Taft went off. But don't worry, ppl! I made sure to run down the stairs and tell the firemen that it was my apt, and we went upstairs together and fumigated. But it was just a bit of a scare. And all of the residents had to go outside and wait. Eek.
