I doubt oxygen masks would be dropped. Starter, triangle of fire, O2 helps a fire to burn and something burning has smoke.

The masks "mix" the cabin air with the oxygen, so you`d get a lung fulls of smoke and anything else using the drop down oxygen system, hence smoke hoods for cabin crew, paxs heads down and if possible wet/damp cloths over nose and mouth.
