<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

So for the record, this was yesterday.

I needed a place to stay over the summer as I am a research assisstant in addition to being a student. One of my professors was on a research trip for 3 months and said I could use his apartment. Top convenience.

In the kitchen is a gas hob and one of the four burners (the bottom left) is fucked. As in, it's sparker doesn't work and it doesn't release gas properly. So I use the one next (bottom right) to it, got my egg on, all's good. What I didn't realise is that in attempting to use the fucked burner, it sprayed liquified gas all across the counter to the left of the hob.

I then want to put some rice on for later, so I spark the burners intending to get a flame out of the top left burner (immediately above the fucked one) this spark then sent the next meter and a half of counter including a chopping board on fire.

Thankfully because it was a granite counter and other than the chopping board and the gas, the fire had little fuel. The fire didn't take for too long. Other than a singed counter and fairly singed wall, the house didn't burn down.

Now, I have cleaned up, bought some paint to fix the wall and looking into sorting the worktop, I also have ordered a new chopping board of the exact same brand. Prof isn't back for another two months, in that time, I am going to cover this up and not use the fucking hob. Microwave meals for the next few weeks.
<bot>: = Staying in prof's flat while he is in on a trip, set his kitchen on fire, trying to cover up evidence and hopefully not further fuck up his home.
