enveloping fire
Taken literally, "enveloping fire" may be an option. Here is a source that seems to support this:
"If the cargo has a flash point of not more than 60C the boats must also be of the fire-protected type to withstand eight minutes of eveloping fire, using a water spray."

The aircraft manufacturers conducted a number oftests on external aircraft fuels tanks in which they wereexposed to an enveloping fuel fire. These studies showthat there were no deflagrations. The tanks did melt orrupture, releasing fuel onto the decks. The time to fueltank failure (release of fuel) was dependent on thepercent of fuel in the tank and ranged from 28 secondsfor a 10-percent load to 3 1/2 minutes for a 100-percentload.
