It looked like it could have been a liquid fuel fire.
The guys operating powder extinguishers deployed from the front couldn't get close enough to the source. Given the low ceiling and confined space, they needed a (very) long lance (something for Bernie to consider).
In oz, fire brigades quarantine a firemen's turnout kit if it has been in a smoke plume of house fire with suspected asbestos materials.
One thinks of indy car and other races where fire and rescue crews must occasionally be contaminated? And the car carried past the adoring public?
