Has there been reports about engine compartment wiring harnesses shorting out?

What is your question?

My harness passenger side underneath the battery area, shorted out, caused a fire, by igniting the plastic wheel well. The slow burning fire lasted an hour before someone noticed and called the fire department, who extinguished the fire. Several wiring harnesses in that area, wheel well and break-line destroyed. Lucky I didn't lose the whole vehicle. Maybe there are reports about fires in the engine compartment like mine also, is there? I'd like to have some info as I soon will need to contact insurance company and dealership to get this fixed. Thanks
