Yes, the ship has been in maintenance for some time. All of the munitions would have been removed, but some fuel/oil remained - mostly to keep generators running. The Admiral speaking in the press conferences indicated the fuel/oil are two decks below the fire at this time.
There are currently 400 Navy/Fed personnel fighting this fire and the same Admiral hopes the BHR will sail again, although I think he is just saying that so as not to discredit the efforts of the said 400 fire fighters.
