Please don't tell me "electrical wiring" was the cause of the fire.

Thanks, Larry; I should have been more explicit.

The fire was caused by a pan of cooking oil being left unattended on the range. The fire damage was limited to the kitchen / dining area.
Three cheers for solid brick interior walls!
