I was reading in 'Classic Car Weekly" earlier today that the ethanol in today's petrol degrades older fuel pipes and can result in fuel leaks and subsequent fires. As your fire was in the engine bay, it is not impossible that this may have been the cause.
Glad you are OK and hopefully you will have fire cover with your insurance.
Regards. John.
