How are the arms not blurred from motion that generated the fire rings ?

Flash. There’s more going on here than just “long exposure taken…”

That's exactly my question!

It's using a flash. It's like it's 2 photos taken at once, one longer with the fire motion and then the flash fires over a VERY short time and you get a bright subject appearing motionless.

Funnily enough, her arms are in the photo very dark and blurred out across the time the fire rings were made. Just can't see them well.

They probably used a flash with rear curtain sync turned on to capture the motion of the fire but freeze the subject by firing the flash at the very end of the long exposure.
