Bunker fires were quite common on steamships.

Quite so. The Titanic coal bunker fire was widely reported in 2017 and I saw a TV doc on it in 2018. There was some suggestion it weakened the ship's structure but I can't remember how significant.

Is the fire still going?

Combustible cladding again?
