Wildfires are different...surface and trees ...put out with water....fire hose or air drop...helicopter or specialized aircraft.

Yes, but both oil well fires and wildfires depend on oxygen. As I recall, Adair put out oil well fires by creating an explosion that used up all the available air, thus putting out the fire. Could this be done on a larger scale -- without simultaneously destroying all the structures?
