How the hell did it catch on fire in the first place?

 

The damage was quite extensive, so it's hard to say.
The insurance company was a bit vague; "it was likely fuel, or electrical". Although they did ask if there was a pack rat problem. Since I park indoors, and lift the hood at least once a week, that was ruled out.
Has anyone else heard of a fuel or electrical issue?
