Came across this in a manufactured home fire recently, and although it did not appear to be the origin of the fire, it looks like it could have been next in line for one.

Gentlemen:
As stated, these electrical problems where not the cause of the fire.
From the looks of the 2-pole circuit breaker it appears that the connection to the bus was "fatigued" and probably loose, and with a heavy load being served led to the damage.
The fire also caused enough heat to almost melt the thermostat.
