Probably do have a plan but depends on if it is safe to get in there and check the lines for damage before doing so. If you have broken piping or flanges that have loosened, offloading would make the problems greater. Deluge piping on the spheres needs to be flowing non stop.

Also

The issue with petroleum fires is that if the product does not flash off at atmospheric pressure and temps, it remains a liquid and will float on water.

Flooding the area with water can allow the spread of fire throughout the entire unit if the drains are already maxed out.
