WHY do you even think oxygen tanks were on the truck?

Good point. There may have been none.

But that wasn’t the question - at least as I saw it.

The question was what happens to any fire when a huge volume of
highly compressed oxygen is added to a fire.

I believe it would, for all practical purposes, appear the same as an explosion.

Not wanting to make a controversy or argument. Just wanting to point out a fact.

I think that this is like the Russian counterpart to the American Media’s portrayal of all rifles as AK-47’s.

All ‘tanks’ are OXYGEN tanks, no matter what is really in them. Either that or it’s just a translation problem. The original report may have said ‘compressed gas’ tanks.
