What is it called when someone lights a bag of poop on fire?

What is the term used to describe the act of lighting a bag of poop on fire? I'm curious to know if there's a specific name for this action. Thanks in advance for your help.

The name folks use is very descriptive but not particularly creative; it is simply known as The Flaming Bag of Poop prank.

In this dangerous prank, a brown paper bag is filled with excrement. It is then placed on the ground near the front door of the victim's home. The doorbell is rung, and the prankster hides at a safe distance within sight of the bag.

When the victim comes out of the house and sees the bag on fire, the natural reaction is to try to stomp it out, thus covering their shoes in excrement.

While this may sound like a relatively benign prank, it is, in fact, very dangerous. One could easily set fire to a person's home, and indeed there is the potential for it to spread and destroy adjacent properties and domiciles; this is a prank better left for B movies than to actually perform!
