Great fires, even through the use of pressure-wave bombs do not delete, because they ignite after the wave faded away, quickly. Too powerful explosions would destroy the boreholes and installations in the depth. You will not be damaged by the Big Wind, above the ground, the rapidly moving steam way shaved leg, however, everything.
