Not according to that rather strange video of the fire crew[s] in action (search up-thread, please). The apparent inability to even squirt the foamy stuff where the fire was raging was disturbing. I have no idea about the techniques, policies or equipment, but watching a Major Foam Unit [as we called them] squirting foam at the left engine [that didn't exist] and not even moving close enough to achieve the necessary trajectory was …. interesting.
It got better when the local RED fire trucks arrived. They are used to dealing with fires.
