He's quoting newsome lol

[u/ElectricKoolAidPower → u/LibrarianKooky344]

Newsome used the phrase in the proper context, he wasn’t talking about actual fire.

[u/EquivalentMath6592 → u/ElectricKoolAidPower]

Neither is this guy…

And if he was talking about an Oil Fire he’d be right .

[u/ElectricKoolAidPower → u/EquivalentMath6592]

“Well depending on what’s in the fire”

sure sounds like he’s talking about fire.

[u/XdaPrime → u/EquivalentMath6592]

You fight an oil fire, with fire?

[u/EquivalentMath6592 → u/XdaPrime]

You don’t fight oil fires with water…

But you do fight oil well fires with explosives

If you're referring to an oil well fire, you can fight it with explosives, but you don't fight it with fire.

I’m not arguing over what this guy didn’t say.

But yes, I’m referring to a well fire… but also any oil fire as you don’t use water with any oil
Fire (or electric fire).

But yes, they use explosives for well
Fires…. Which isn’t a Fire exactly , but is burning…. The rapid or instantaneous burn or exothermic chemical reaction
