If you worry about an enroute fire (which I don't and always travel with my Dometic 2652 gas/120 frig running on propane) you can buy a portable fire extinguishing system, I believe it uses halon, that mounts in the back of the refrigerator compartment near the vent. If in the event of an enroute or stationary fire, it will go off and hopefully extinguish the flames, at least once.
Several years ago there were a problems with certain model gas/electric refrigerators catching fire. I don't remember which ones but if you google it you will find more info than most care to read and find out if your model is applicable. Service (clean) the burner section according to the manufacturers recommendations for best results.
