Every time I've had a fire (and I've had a few), it is some stupid mistake. On this one, my truck quit on the freeway at night. Pulled off the fuel line at the carb to see if I was pumping, no fuel. Found a break in the line, got under and fixed it. Got back in, fired it up, pulled out, FIRE! Forgot to reconnect the line at the carb! Melted the secondaries, but new cap and wires, and I nursed this back from central CAL to Seattle.
