LOL!  Just kidding.  You are very lucky your oven or the surrounding walls didn't catch on fire.  Your apartment sounds like an old one.  That style is called "railroad apartment" b/c it's like a train.  Long, skinny and you have to pass thru one room to get to another.

Who let the smoke out? *Poof---poof-poof-poof*  Lather, rinse, repeat.
