3 Underhood Wiring problem of the 1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass

We had just returned from short shopping trip, parked in driveway, and not more than 10 minutes later we noticed the car was on fire. The car was a total loss, plus damage was also done to our carport and the backside of our other car. The firemen, police, and insurance company felt the cause of the fire was most likely an electrical problem, but the damage was too severe to confirm.
