I've read some comments by someone that's been on scene since the start as one of the DC teams.
No ordinance is in the magazines. It's standard procedure to unloaded it at a pier specially designed for that task before extended port stays.
The fire has definitely reach the fuel lines you mention, and they're sustaining the fire. The team my commenter was a part of was one of the first to try to push inside. They made it about 25 feet in. The floor was so hot their team leaders boots melted. The writer said he had to stand on a pile of hose to avoid the same problem. The heat pushed them back out after less than half an hour. His opinion was that there was little choice but to just let the fuel burn off.
