All you can do is cover the entire thing in foam, correct?

My plant is next door to ITC and I just got called off for tomorrow, I'm sure our fire brigade is there working the fire.

Yes, but there’s more to it. if you don’t have enough foam on scene and ready to go, you’re just wasting foam. At some point the cost to replace the tank is cheaper than paying for all the foam needed to put it out.
Putting water IN the tank could cause boil over which is much worse than letting it burn out. Plus the amount of run off from this is a nightmare to contain and then clean up.
Some of my coworkers were there. Said it was bad. Prayers for the guys fighting this.

Which plant do you work?

What time did the fire start? Got home from the lake around 3:00 this afternoon in Winnie and thought I saw smoke that direction. Hopefully something else.

Dow chemical used to be Rohm and Haas, been there for 31 years.

I’m right around the corner from there at INEOS.

Our crew had to get out of there. Not enough foam. Possible pumper lost. Or pumpers
