We're sitting at my grandparents kitchen table, the elecric toaster plugged in, but not in use (and had not been in use yet that day), when all of a sudden, gray smoke starts drifting out and the curtains above the toaster burst into flames. I hate to think what would have happened if we hadn't been sitting right there to act promptly.
