What is the oldest memory you can remember and how old were you?

I was 4 years old and I remember being at home with my mom and brother. We got a call from my aunt who lived across town and she was telling my mom "It looks like there's a huge fire right by your house!" My mom, brother and I had no idea what she was talking about so we all walked out into the backyard and saw that the three houses behind ours were completely engulfed in flames. In my memory the flames look absolutely giant. After we saw the fire we just packed some of our belongings and got the fuck out of there. Most of my first memories involve fire because my family is full of pyros, even though this specific fire wasn't my family's fault.
