Not Hanukkah candles but Rosh haShana candles, my grandmother, 1946.
She lit them upstairs, then the family went off to the dining room to have a big family holiday meal. The baby (me) was put in a crib to go to sleep. Only my screaming alerted the rest of the family to the fact that the candles had started a smoldering fire in the paint on the wall. The fire was put out before the room burst into flames.
I never leave my blessed-candles unattended.

Not myself, but it's not such a silly question. We have a neighbour up the street that did something like that. The house didn't burn down. Bobeh was babysitting and lit the candles with her granddaughter. Bobeh put the menorah up on a high window where there were short curtains. You guessed it, they caught on fire. Burned one wall of the house.
It was really sad.

Im not jewish so I dont celebrate Hannakuh. I have never even seen a lit candle at anyones house but im sure it has happened before. That would really suck though. One big giant candle burning at Hannakuah (that would be your house)

Well sort of.. I lit some candles and put them on the window sill, but it fell off and the curtains caught on fire!! But then i managed to put it out with a bucket of water. Haha, it makes me laugh now.
