Was on BBC World TV out here a few minutes ago-pictures showed established fire seemed to be burning without any attempts at control applied.
One video shows fire trucks travelling to the scene.
The primary role of firefighters is to save and protect lives. So the strategy, given what the photos reveal and what has been reported, would be to protect and rescue those injured. So if there was a damaged building, as seems likely, with mass casualties, they would prioritise that scene rather than attend to the scene of a burning plane.

There are two distinct smoke plumes, perhaps 200 meters apart(?), indicating some degree of horizontal motion in the crash sequence.
