Kind of a funny story but not for those involved!
Some friends of ours had a wood burning fireplace and had lit a bunch of candles inside of it. With the glass front doors closed and apparently the damper open, the candles created enough heat to create a draw and started burning really hot! Wax melted and spread out inside the fireplace burning everything with a very hot uncontrollable fire!
Panic spread and I cannot recall how they actually put out the flames but it didn't burn the house down.
