Mike Costin once told us that, many years ago, he also said that oil
fires are very difficult to put out. (Mike used to make Cosworth racing
engines and knows a lot about these things.

a good source i learned that mogas or avgas, spayed, sprikled or throw at/on
hot surfaces will not ignite. It takes a good spark to start a fire. But a drop
of oil on an exhaust pipe will burn immediatly. In this particular case the
turbo oil lines or pump were most probably smashed, and the oil started the
fire,
later fed by fuel.
