I feel your concern picture. I think that if it's anything wrong with the electricity, it would more likely be with the person who constructed the house. Most electrical fires begin in the home (i.e. plug-in outlets) which would mean error on the constructors part not the electric company. This particular story said it started in the kitchen which probably means it was a problem with the electrical connections in the home.
