yes, this happened to me when i lived in a small cottage on Dartmoor, logs were damp and my mate put some petrol lighter fluid on it, the log sparked and set the (wicker) log basket on fire, soon put it out-and the log STILL didnt burn!!

Happens all the time with barbies. A bit of fuel to get it started and everything tastes of petrol.

it's a man thing.

When we lived in the fens when I was a kid, we always had a fire guard for that reason, reinous wood spits like fluck, and even though we had the fireguard our hearth rug had shit loads of burns in it, thats why you never leave a burning fire unatended...
