New Zealand 73 Flames shooting to the ceiling

 We jumped up in a panic just as the fire alarms (all of them) began to go off. The kitchen was completely filled with smoke and the guys were running around opening doors and windows trying to clear the air. Once the smoke was under control the alarms stopped their incessant bleating and we were able to determine what had happened. The girl was trying to use what she called a "gas cooker" and what Matt and I call a blow torch.
