I completely agree. I bet I could take a leaf blower, and with the right application of air on that size of a fire, blow it out. On a fire that small, it doesn't take much air to change the fuel-air mixture creating a fire that won't burn.

Best illustrated when you throw a match at a small container of gasoline, and it flies into the gas, and is put out by the fuel. But if you slowly move it towards the gas, eventually it will start a fire, because the match passes slowly enough through the right air mixture to allow the gas to burn.

PSA I don't recommend doing this. We did this in the fire service as a training example. We also had full body bunker gear, helmets and the guy lighting the gas was also wearing a SCBA to prevent any sort of flash fire injuries. Gas and fire are really, really dangerous.
