I knew this would be the very next question when I posted last.
Yes the flight crew would have had on their oxygen masks, due fire and the use of the fire extinguisher.
BCF is still used in aviation as it is the most effective extinguishant for the situation. When they are used there is a lot of paperwork generated. Usually for the fact that there is a fire onboard the aircraft, but also due to the environmental effects.
However, when I am at 38,000 ft, many minutes from being safely on the ground, I (and probably 400 other souls on the aircraft) am happy to be unconcerned about the environmental effects of BCF and just want the fire extinguished as soon as possible.
