ELI5 How would a massive ship like the Felicity ace (carrying 400mil worth of cars) sink due to fire?

I just cant imagine a fire causing a hull breach because a hull is at least 2 different layers of thick steel.

The ship didn't sink due to a hull breach.

The ship was being towed, and the wind/seas shifted unexpectedly.  Without the onboard ballast controls, because the ship was badly damaged in the fire, they lost roll control.  The ship listed to the side, and water flowed into it through holes that were normally above water.
