Oh god, this is going to sound crazy, but I'm really feeling panic starting to build up within me. I was leaning out of my bedroom window having a cigarette when I heard my mum coming up the stairs (she doesn't like me smoking in the house or near the house tbh!!!) so I quickly stubbed it out outside my window on a wee wooden bit that is underneath all our windows, threw the cigarette out the window, shut the window and sprayed perfume. I have never ever smoked inside my house (or out the window) and I don't know why I did it, guess I was just really craving one, but now I wish I hadn't cos I'm panicking.
I'm so so terrified that the ash that's on the wooden bit outside of my window is going to start a fire and burn my house down. I googled it and it said that three components are needed to start a fire, something to burn on like paper, WOOD etc, heat (which I think the ash would provide as it might still be a bit hot?) and oxygen.
Really freaking out, is it possible the ash could start a fire? The cigarette is most definitely out, once my mum had got in the bath I ran outside, found it, made sure it was most DEFINITELY out, then threw it far away. I have scrubbed the bit of wood with my hands until they almost bled and think I've got rid of most of the ash, but I'm still really worried, does anyone know if a fire could start?
