Ah, clearly you were moving in the wrong crowd during Freshers week. Ours was in Lonsdale Square, and there were a whole range of things on fire that we had to volunteer to put out. It was great.
But afterwards we got herded into a lecture theatre and shown photos of what happens when you leave your clothes to dry on an electric heater (answer: firey badness) and that scared the crap out of me even though I didn't even have an electric heater in my room, I had a radiator.
It was nearly a decade ago, and it still makes me shudder.
