So this happened at around 7am today. I live with my boyfriend (M24), his parents and siblings. I (F25) woke up with my boyfriend when his alarm went off, popped on his dressing gown with nothing underneath and went to cook him eggy bread as I like him to be full for the work day. It’s probably good to note that his dressing gown is a 2XL and I am a size S/M. The cooking is going fine but the sleeves are quite baggy and long, I’ve cooked in it plenty of times and had no issues. My sleeve got too close to the flame on the hob and I notice the sleeve is slightly on fire at the end. I pat it out and keep quite (My boyfriend is in next room along with his mum and I don’t like to make a fuss if it’s no biggie and I’ve fixed the situation). I look down again and see a small flame on my elbow so again, I pat it out and proceed. All of a sudden I feel this sensation of heat on my back and at this point I realise I’m on fire and this is now big enough for me to make a fuss! I run to the next room screaming I’m on fire and just push my back onto the wall to try and suffocate the flame, but I can tell from my boyfriend and his mum’s scream that the flame is bigger than I thought. Their view was that I ran in with my whole arm in flames that quickly spread to my whole front, which I was completely unaware of. As they screamed so much I just ripped the dressing gown off as it was super loose anyway, threw it to the floor, stood there completely naked to double check that suffocated all the flames and shouted “sorry” as I ran back to my room to have a panic attack.
I need to have a bit of a trim as some of my hair got singed, went to minor injuries and they were amazed I had absolutely no blistering or anything wrong at all! I can only imagine how bad the flame must have been on my back as I didn’t feel a single other flame on me! Thankfully not too bad to walk away completely unscathed. When I was stood there naked I did also see my boyfriend’s dad run in but all he must of seen was me naked looking at my dressing gown, which I’d argue was the most embarrassing moment as he then ran away. My boyfriend then ate his eggy bread as he didn’t want me to be offended or upset if he didn’t eat it (I wouldn’t have been) and work gave him the day off as a mental health day.
What makes it worse is that a month before, his sister (f21) set something on fire in the microwave which I swiftly sorted out and we joke about that and now I’m much worse having set myself on fire.
TL;DR my sleeve caught fire while cooking, felt a hot sensation on my back, ran to my boyfriend and his mum, they screamed, I ripped my dressing gown off leaving me completely naked and ran to my room once I was confident the fire was gone.
