It's not there to put out the fire. It's class A foam in the tanker; the drop is to protect the exposures and prevent the fire from spreading. Putting class A foam and water on a petrochemical fire can cause an explosion. That drop was simply to contain the fire to keep it from becoming worse outside the vehicle incident.
