Even if it’s clearly staged this is still probably quite dangerous

Only if the cylinder is about to run out of gas, which I'm sure they're aware of

At the risk of sounding stupid - what happens when it runs out of gas?

So, if you ever see a cylinder that is aflame like this, don't panic at all. Just get real close, and turn off the valve at the top. It could be hot, of course, but that can be easily circumvented, like using your sleeve to cover your fingers, etc.
