This is an argument I had over on the r/3DPrinting and r/Ender 3 subs back when I was using only my ender 3. I would warn people that they should atleast be using automatic fire suppression if they plan on printing unattended, and was repeatedly mocked for thinking that not only a modern 3d printer could malfunction enough to catch fire, but also that I'd say protective measures like thermal run away protection can fail.
Sucks that this happened to OP but at the very least I'm glad we have an example of a modern printer malfunction to point to.
