I don’t know the exact cause of the fire here, but would say that it was probably the result of some loose connections or malfunction of the overcurrent devices (CB’s).
The instructions on some equipment make it very clear that they want the installer to use their products, and no others. In those panels the note is specific, and in others there may be permission to use CB's from another manufacturer.

The (connector) fitting that was used for the top raceway probably melted n the fire. I will try to look up the person who sent this picture to me for the rest of the story.
Fireman, no I am not working for the fireman I try to help people to understand how to avoid fires. My point was related to the possible misuse of equipment when I mentioned CB's. Installers must follow the instructions!
