i think i would cry if that was my car....
Whats whacked is one of those guys had to hear you say you just got it back after 8 months of sitting. People just dont understand sometimes that a car is like children to a person, Priceless! And they still rub you for the $50.
That would have me so ~~~~! More so than the car burning.

This is exactly why I replaced mine recently. The gasoline had dissolved the electrical connector to the fuel pump/sending unit. I was GLAD I found that...
So sorry for the loss! Do you think you could you have stopped it if you had a fire extinguisher handy? I was going to mount one in the trunk...but now maybe I should find a more accessible location!
Engine / car fires are something that really bothers me to think about. SCARY. Glad you all got out before too late!!!

Its never a bad idea to have a fire extinguisher handy. As for wiring causing a fire... from the area described I don't know of any problems around there. The problems I've run across on my red+black cars were due to poor or improperly done mods or reassembly. That is wires were pinched when things were hurridly or carelessly reinstalled. Better to take your time, be careful and inspect things as you go along than to risk damage IMO. A view not often shared by others.
On the other hand however, I've LEARNED some things the hard way in the past.

i tryed to use a extinquisher I got from the harley davison dealer(that the car was burning at) but by the time i got it it was to late
I think a wire must have got pinched when i packed every sc part i own in the car, put it on a trailer, drove 2000 miles than let it set for 8 months while i took every thing out and saved up to put the parts it needed and plates. earlyer that morning of the fire I put over $300 in it to get it on the road
no, I was still smoking it at the time
