Yes, but we're talking a fire while scrappies were dismantling an aircraft here, so not really in the realms of an oxygen fire in the normal operation of an aircraft. They obviously didn't have a clue about what they were doing otherwise the system would not have been still pressurised. I doubt if they had even bothered to turn off the bottles and purge the system.
