I meant jettisoning cargo is not the answer. Depressurization would have to be part of that. That might put the fire out but then you have to decide whether to stay high to keep the fire suppressed or descend to land. If you're over water, might as well stay high I guess at least until your O2 runs out.
Might not save you from a box of lithium batteries.
