How fast can you get a burning toaster out of the kitchen?

Fairly fast, although there was no time to take photos during the excitement.

I was making an expresso and thinking about what a weird echo - a sort of popping noise - was coming from the other side of the kitchen. Acrid smoke billowing up from a part of the toaster that has no contact with bread or breadcrumbs was a bad sign.

Poor thing is sitting upside down on my balcony doused in water because the flames deep in the electrical part didn't look like they'd go out without assistance.
