If this is a model with the battery in the trunk, that might explain the fire there. Regardless of the cause of the fire in the engine compartment, it would eventually burn through and short the live battery cables routed from the trunk. If that's the case, you should find evidence of overheating along the entire length of the cables from back to front.
