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.

We used similar tactics with oil wells during desert storm.  

Large explosion consumes all the air feeding the oil well fire.  fire cannot exist without oxygen so fire goes out
