Related story: I was ~8 or 9 visiting my (dad's) grandparents for the summer, and the smoke alarm in the basement started going off.

I was in the house by myself so I went running to the basement door, opened it, and saw smoke.
I got the dogs out of the house and ran out front of the house screaming to one of our neighbors.
They called 911 for me.
Ambulance and Fire trucks show up.
My other grandmother, who worked as the Town Clerk (or something? this was NJ) heard the call over the radio and heard the address and also came speeding over.
My grandmother gets thre at the same time.
She was cooking a turkey in the oven, and it had started to smoke, and the exhaust went into the basement (I guess?) and there was no fire.
I'm semi-embarrassed about it to this day.
It was quite the sensational story at the time.
So yes - me. But no fire. :)
