Glad you're ok 
And yes, fire is nothing to play with.
On a somewhat related note... be careful of using an incandescant bulb work/drop light around flammables as well. Long time ago I read a "follow up" article in a magazine about a Pro-streeted '69 GTO Judge that they featured an issue or two before. They were working on it in their garage one night, doing something (i forget now) with the fuel system. They had an average, everyday drop light under the car, when fuel spilled onto the ground near it. The heat from the bulb ignited the fumes. The resulting fire destroyed the car and half the garage.
DTT'ers that work on their rides indoors should also consider appliances with pilot lights (like natural gas water heaters), as a source for ignition when working with fumes. For example, cleaning carbs, painting, etc. Even something like an HVAC thermostat (or a light switch) can throw a spark when it cycles on/off.
