    I'm thinking a fusable link may have burnt up? I've never seen fire from one, but they do smoke. Possibly a starter wire grounded on the trans?

    Do you have lights, anything?

    If not, sounds like something shorted out, like above said, its possible the power wire to the starter shorted out,
