Someone had the wrong idea on Saturday evening, and decided to toss an aerosol can into an open fire grate at a pub in Derbyshire, England. A 2 metre (7 ft) fireball erupted from the fireplace, passed through the public bar and onto the ceiling, before going back into the grate. Several people suffered burns to their backs and limbs, and were treated in a dental surgery across the road.
NEVER put aerosol cans into a fire. As if you didn't already know.

A house near me was gutted when an aerosol can was left in a conservatory while the owners went on holiday. The heat from the sun through the glass caused it to explode.
