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.

Fire needs fuel and oxygen to burn. A large, well-placed explosion can instantly burn up all of the available oxygen in an area, immediately snuffing out any fire.
