Whether a fire happens because there's a bottle of O2 feeding it outside a ship, or it happens internally in the guts of a ship/station. It does happen. Quibbling over semantics concerning it's location is just dumb, its still a fire and it's dangerous. The design is an RP design for delivering a fire fighting crew to the location regardless of where it is.
I tend to make large elaborate stations that border on small towns/cities. A lot of buildings to deal with and having an Emergency response unit would be essential for that sort of thing. The people that just build ships will have to find another solution to the problem.
Strangely enough, it was that same oxygen on board Apollo 13 and on the Soyuz station that allowed those fires to happen. Silly people for bringing oxygen into space.
Also, even if you were inside the burning craft, shooting a zero-g fire with a water cannon wouldn't help. The water would simply float around and do nothing to smother the fire. Though, this ship doesn't appear to have any sort of tank to carry water anyway.
The proper response to a zero-g fire is to seal off the section before it spreads and vent the atmosphere. That said, our ships aren't zero-g (as we have gravity generators) so the danger is far more limited. What's more, our ships aren't actually pressurized at all (at least not yet) so there's no danger of fire in the first place.
