"There was oxygen all over the ship. But there wasn't any fuel to burn unless that whole damned ship was made out of magnesium!"

Interesting point. The only thing I could say is that one reason why the landing bay would be inaccessible to those from inside (thus necessitating that strafing run of "boraton" by the vipers) is that the landing bay would have fuel supplies for vipers and shuttles that would keep burning constantly. As for it spreading elsewhere, I guess we'd have to consider all the other combustible material in Colonial society on a battlestar we haven't begun to think about yet!
