My guess is an ethanol rocket (http://www.rsc.org/eic/2013/10/exchem0313-ethanol-woosh-rocket-methanol)

Flame + ethanol + HS students => disaster

Well, the picture is from Wiki Common so it has nothing to do with the experiment.  The story says that something spilled on the floor and spread to the feet,  My guess would be any flammable liquid that ignited and burned on the floor.
