Correct. And jet fuel burns at 2,000 degrees in the hot section of a jet engine. Add a lot of air and it burns really hot. Kind of like charcoal burning in a blacksmiths forge.
Just keep in mind that jet engines are designed to burn fuel at high intensity, thus at a high burn rate for what you want out of it. High pressure injection into a forced draft of compressed air. Absent these conditions, the flame propagation speed could be less, and the air convection into the fire would be hindered by the structure. Plenty of variables.

Certain types of plastics burn at 5,00 f. That's what we consider for warehouse fire sprinkler design for high pile storage
There were over 50 tons of fuel. It does not burn off "in the first few minutes."
