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.

Larger fire takes up all the oxygen from the smaller fire like a big mean bully takes the candy from a little kid. The smaller fire cannot burn without oxygen, hence is extinguished
