Dave, the question remains. What ignited the leaking fuel? I am not sure if a hot exhaust manifold can really ignite the fuel, unless its bright red after a 3 mile drag race. It may be possible that your plug wires were a bit old (leaking spark), and the fire started just before you turned off the car. Or, may be you have a short. You may want to consider disconnecting the battery until you solve this with certainty.
