 CHAPTER 6 – FIRE AND BOMB SCENE OPERATIONS
It is well documented that in many instances, fire scenes pose greater hazards to personnel from a toxicological standpoint after suppression activities are completed due to incomplete combustion and the liberation of extremely toxic substances.
For example, after fire suppression operations are completed and a fire scene investigation is initiated, combustion gases and smoke, oxygen-deficient atmospheres, toxic or hazardous airborne dust concentrations, (some of which are potentially carcinogenic), may be present as a result of the disturbance of fire debris.
Some toxic chemicals present at fire scenes may not be detected by human senses since they may be colorless and odorless, and their toxic effects may not produce any immediate symptoms.

 Firebombing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Firebombing is a bombing technique designed to damage a target, generally an urban area, through the use of fire from an incendiary device, rather than from the blast effect of large bombs.
The use of a mixture of bombers carrying high explosive bombs, such as the British blockbuster bombs, which blew out windows and roofs and exposed the interior of buildings to the incendiary bombs, are much more effective.
During the strategic bombings of World War II [2] this technique was as effective on Hamburg [3], Tokyo [4], and Dresden [5] as the atomic bombs that were used against Japanese cities.

 Halfbakery: Fire Bomb
The concentration in the air inside the house would have to be very high to extinguish the fire, and it wouldn't solve the problem of the previously burning material still being hot enough to burn once the oxygen was back.
But as for the loudness of the bomb, I would have to suspect that it would be no louder than the water from the hoses hitting the house hard, and that already is freaking loud, so the bomb wouldn't be that bad.
