Whatever the reason it's an interesting shot. Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good.☺

You're half right. She's the one who put the flames there.

I own the closely related LX100. Looks like you may have inadvertently been in Multiple Exposure mode.

I'm going to guess that the hand was moving so you got an overlay of bright ambient (the fire) combined with the glove at its position at the moment of the flash.

Double exposure, surely.
How could any reflection from a lens element be in such relatively good focus?

This is what I was thinking. I think the firepit was right behind the gloved hand. You can see the people in the background are illuminated by it. The fire is the only thing in the background with enough illumination to be visible in the photo beyond the illumination of the hand. The hand was moved there and caught by the flash just before or after the fire was captured. I think this will be backed up by the shutter speed, whatever it was, it was slow enough to capture after the flash (or before depending on whether your flash fires at the beginning or end of an exposure).

What was the shutter speed, The hand could've moved into the frame after the shutter was pressed.

EXIF says 1/60 sec. The hand could've been already moving, I'd guess up or down, and only needed to move a little -- just enough to expose the fire since the glove would've been dark in the ambient light.

Would the Property Details give any indication of whether it is a double exposure?

Look. There are so many factors that could have gone into this glitch. 1) position of photographer (Could there have been a reflection on the lens from a nearby fire? On a glass sheet between photographer and subject?), 2) double exposure, 3) dust inside camera reflecting light, etc. We would have to know all the factors present in order to make a true decision.
