Any salt that dissolves exothermically could have initiated a rapid release
of methanol vapor to the explosive limit.
If showing flame colors is all that was to be achieved, placing a metal loop
that was soaked in a salt solution into the flame of a Bunsen burner could
achieve the objective.
Shields, fire extinguishers and lab showers should be considered.
