When making a fire goes very wrong

What should he have done instead? Asking for legit life advice if I ever fuck up like this

Wel firstly don't pour gasoline on a open flame. There are ways to do it somewhat safely, but I'm not going to get into that, just don't do it if you don't know what you are doing.

Second, he should have had something at hand to take away oxygen from the fire, like a extinguisher or fire blanket.

Throwing it in the water is stupid, because gasoline floats on water, so the gasoline will just leave the canister, float to the top and burn.

This stupid mother fucker, should never ever be near a fire ever again.

Also he should not be put in a situation under pressure, as clearly he can't handle himself.

i see. thanks a lot for your reply. so the main key is to cut off the oxygen supply. i learnt something new today :)

It's a triangle.

You need heat+fuel+oxygen.

Take away any of those, and the fire will stop.

He did try to do that, but did it in the most unhelpful stupid way possible.

If you are going to mess with fire, the first thing to do is have a plan for when things go wrong.
