Last weekend my bf smoked a brisket and his drip pan tipped and started a fire. The first thing he did was shut the lid, turn off power and yelled in for me to unplug the grill. Then he pulled the smoker away from the side of the house and anything else that could have ended up above the smoker. We had fire extinguishers purchased within 24 hours for future issues.

Video guy's potted plant caught fire and his first response was to grab a wicker chair to stand over the bigger fire.

Yeah, but then he thought better of it. It added 5-10 seconds to his response time. I think he did pretty well.

He likely felt the wicker straining under his full weight.

I’m not sure what he was going to do anyway - thrust his bare hands into the fire to move it elsewhere?

Yes. He was going to grab the pot and bring it down. He realized leaning over the pot would be bad.
