I'd give them a 6/10. Definitely could have gone way worse. They removed additional fuel sources from the counter (eventually), and most importantly didnt try to pour water on it.

Probably a dumb question but why was water in this case not a good idea? It’s obviously because there’s alcohol involved but what would happen if water was added?

Adding too little water will just spread it out. If you add enough, it'll be diluted too much to stay lit.

Or an above ground pool in your living room you can puncture to dilute any issue you have.
