Egyptair and cologne

unctious.

An oxygen fire would burn out quite quickly with damage limited to very adjacent and localized equipments.
The Egyptair fire was compounded/caused by crews carrying eau-de-cologne on the flightdeck (as a part of the normal catering supplies) and smoking. Get rid of the flammable liquid and the ignition source, and you greatly reduce the possibility of oxygen doing anything.
