Man, that is SCARY! You do know that problems with the electrical wiring are the number one cause of house fires, right? And the number one cause of electrical problems that cause house fires are rodents, like rats or squirrels, gnawing through wires, creating shorts. I would have a certified electrician check out all the wiring in the house if I were you, and check the fuse or breaker box as well, and possibly install a breaker that will automatically kick out if there is a short and it overloads. You came VERY close to having your house burn down!
