To the best of my knowledge no one was seriously hurt in any of these instances. I specifically stayed away from historic stuff as there were frequently drivers hurt. That said, modern F-1 cars do light off big when the time comes. More...

That Verstappen fire was pretty scary. And people question why refueling was banned in F1? In general, I'm thinking that refueling anything as quickly as possible has got to be a bad idea.

It was scary and a very small quantity of fuel. I think Matchett says it was less than 1/2 a liter. He was the rear jack man at the time. I know they used Intertechnique gear for the fuel rigs. They specialize in aircraft refueling hardware. I'd argue the F-1 method was safer than that of NASCARs (man jumping over a wall with 11 gallons of fuel on his back).
