similar thing (but w/out the flames) happened when my fuel pump cratered. cooked the wire back to the fuse box. melted the connector in the fuse panel before the fuse finally blew.
The lesson here is: if you have an SC and haven't replace the fuel pump yet, don't wait til it quits. replace it now.
sucks about the biker. lesson there is zero tolerance--never ride if you've had any alcohol/drugs
