Just watched the movie sorcerer. How can explosives put out a fire when a fire that might be caused by something exploding?

From what I understand, the fire at the source of the movies tension was caused by an oil rig exploding. I really don’t understand how poorly sealed dynamite with its main explosive fuel source leaking would be effective enough to put out a raging fire. Seems completely counterintuitive.

I loved that movie.

That said, given the incredible expense of not stopping the fire… couldn’t they just buy more dynamite from someplace? They didn’t need that much of it, and farmers use dynamite for tree stumps and stuff. 

There’s no way the plan they ended up trying was the better option over just… buying a crate of new dynamite from someplace, right?
