A quick google of refrigerator fires gives more info and pictures of compressor type refrigerators burned up than you can use- info on numerous recalls as well.
And the increasingly common use of R600a isobutane refrigerant in residential refrigerators brings with it an even higher risk of fire due to its high flammability. At least Freon is relatively inflammable, although when exposed to high heat it does produce deadly phosgene gas.
