I don't think the game models progressive fire damage. Flooding damage is progressive, i.e. the ship will gradually fill with water following a torpedo hit (or deck gun below the waterline), up to a point. Not all ships will sink from progressive flooding, either. The fire damage appears to be eye candy to represent some amount of structural damage already sustained.
