    I worked at a small airport, and trained as crash crew.

    Part of the training involved a six-foot-square metal pan full of oil, which the instructor lit.

    It was while standing there with the hose, hand on the lever but thinking that the foot-thick tornado of fire towering over me was way too beautiful to put out, that I realised I maybe wasn't the best person for the job...
