I worked as a certified Apple tech for years, I don't think you really mean it caught fire, as in literally burst into flames and continues to work. A power surge has been known to cause this issue as many possibilities. I never, nor did the other tech's, have any issue replacing the part free under warranty. Best Buy notoriously is terrible in every way. Ive never turned a customer away for this, I have seen it many times. Its the magsafe board that fries, its a small board that takes the incoming power and sends it to the MLB (main logic board).
