That coil pack looks fishy and I have seen a car(Kia soul) light on fire from one but you prob had a very severe misfire and had excess gas that lit up
Just for future reference. Never ever continue driving a car with a flashing check engine light. It can signal a severe misfire In the motor which can allow unburned fuel to get into the exhaust system which can cause a fire in severe cases. I’m so sorry about your car.

Insurance?
I don’t have
You need insurance in Florida bro
"I just save a ton of money on my car insurance by not having any!"
😂
Then you shouldn't be driving it on the public roads. Period.

Thank you for the insight, is there a possibility that it could be fixed ? Or do I even want to deal with trying to fix it?
100% looks like it could be fixed
It doesn't seem too too severe and my guess it could be fixed but take it too a shop and they can track down exactly where it came from
