      It wasn’t that bad. It was more like a 40 foot long, angry firework fuse. I was able to eventually stomp it out before my childhood took a drastic turn for the worse. It was one of the things that piqued my interest in physics/chemistry.

        If the flame reached the tank, there wouldn’t have been an immediate explosion, no fuel, but the oxygen getting everywhere could have gotten your house much closer to burnt down.

          I more meant the jet powered flaming snake flipping around on the floor setting the place on fire. We didn’t believe in fire retardants back then.
