Sounds like it was a transformer fire which can happen at a fossil plant just as easily and has nothing to do with nuclear safety. They are usually big fires and often make the local news.
The containment building for the fuel rods is the most overbuilt building you can imagine. They're designed to withstand a direct 747 hit.
