"We would spray an area that normally would go out, but it would keep catching back. That gives you a feeling that there was something there." Sounds like Willey Pete -- white phosphorus. I think the only way to put that out is to totally remove all exposure to oxygen.

This fire was intense. Could something like that be at risk of burning itself out if the fire grows too large, too quickly?
