Looks rather like some silly idiot playing around with a can of white gas to me.
Regardless of the actual fuel involved, I suggest that ‘idiot’ is the key message here.
Curious that whoever was filming did not seem especially fussed about it all.

It’s propane, nice and clean burning. Volunteer firemen being trained to put down fires that may occur at sites that use large tanks  of propane for home use. I filmed it. Just thought I’d post it to get your attention. You seem to be the only one around

In which case referring to ‘canisters’ could be deliberately deceptive, which is not good.

Saying from local Bush Fire Brigade (I was a member):
“Q: What steps do you take in case of a propane tanker spill?
A: Very long ones.”

re Boy Scouts
You know what I would insist on that example?
That the boys lighting the stoves remove their scarves! They are dangling flammable material over a flaring stove.

Yeah, speed competitions are just a bad idea. They encourage kids to cut corners.
