On point, the wires aren't going to get hot enough several feet away to catch anything on fire. Just melt at the source, and the chain is broken. Could be localized at the meter, but that's about it. If you've ever seen a short circuit on a PCB, the traces melt at the weakest links. Every trace on the PCB doesn't go up in flames.
