What they mean by the fire spreading radiation is that anything around the others that are releasing radiation becomes irradiated and therefore when it burns it could be spread in the byproduct of the combustion.   Reactors 4-6  aren't full of spent fuel, they were shut down for inspection.  This basically means these reactors have been scrammed and the fuel rods have been put into a state of slow decay.  They still have to be cooled but as long as those cooling systems aren't compromised by the fire they should be good for now.
