Curiosity got the better of me when I waved an alcohol wipe over an open flame. There’s still a dark mark on the office carpet tile from where I had to stamp it out

Mythbusters did this with coffee whitener as I recall. Impressive.
This has also happened to sawmills and flour mills, under less controlled circumstances.

Let it be someone else’s carpet. Or in this case, driveway.
Skip to 3:10 for the action.

Please invest in a fire blanket and keep it near by when you do stupid things with fire.

Mine paid for itself the first time a flame got out of control while I was having some fun. No lasting burns to human or objects in my office lol.
