It could have shorted or something due to an improper install during build.
That's what I was wondering when I saw it. It's not an M50i from the pics, and I believe the hybrid is only in the 40i version, so I was thinking the 48V system might be the culprit with enough energy to start a fire. But who knows :

Didn't want to panic anyone either but since you said it…
