A fire could be caused by many things, not all of which would be Boeings issue. If the aircraft was in conformity to its type certificate and a failure caused a fire and hull loss then Boeing will have a lot to answer for. However, poor maintenance, illegal/unapproved modifications or even a modificatin approved by the governing air authority could have malfunctioned and caused a fire, non of which liability wise could be laid at Boeings doorstep.
