just had to replace that one wire...why would you let your car burn down is beyond me, or you may not like/enjoy your car enough
If it was a small do-nothing fire that I could put out without much calamity, like a little something in the front boot, I would put it out. But anything coming from the engine - I would rather my insurance bought me a new car than deal with bits and pieces of burned parts and extinguisher fluid crud, and contention over what should have been replaced and wasn't, and over time discovering yet another thing that was damaged but not noticed, etc., etc.
