It was in 2006. My sister left a pan on in the kitchen in the early hours and fell asleep on the sofa. The kitchen isn't sealed off from the lounge so all the smoke was able to get into the lounge and ruin that. We were very lucky but could have been a disaster for my sister with all the smoke. Kitchen was completely fucked, the downstairs was damaged by smoke. Walls, carpet etc everything just covered in shit. The house had not burned to a pile of ashes or anything just everything downstairs had to be replaced.

Stayed in a hotel until we got a house to live in while the work was done to fix the damage overall was about four months in total.

While all that was going on we got burgled as well .
