Yes a wet rag has always been the easiest/quickest way to put out these small fires. Quite a few years ago now, I was running a 4097/91/6 with a flat wick burner filled with denatured alcohol outside on a hot sunny day. I didn't know nearly half the baseplate was flooded with alcohol and on fire till I felt the heat coming off... couldn't see the flame in the sunlight
