I've seen a few alternator fires before, and usually the entire car ends up burning, so you got really lucky. Have a shop change the alternator for you and have them check the wiring to make sure nothing is shorted out. If you are lucky you didnt' do any serious damage to the car, but there could be some electrical damage due to the excessive heat caused by the fire. Good luck.
