My starter died, good thing I got a fire extinguisher

While swapping out my starter I discovered my batt cable to the starter was BARE. Could have shorted and caught on fire, last time I saw this was on Guy's car. Good thing I got a spare cable at the junk a couple weeks ago. Gotta hit the yards for a few more extra parts while they still exist.

Uh, I didn't know my starter was bare. Is my car about to catch on fire?
