Sadly, I tend to forget about the fires in the past as I never get the details of "electrical malfucntion", so I tend to think the owner did something (bad extension cord, too many crock pots, etc).... and forget about it. Part of the flawed "cannnot happen to me" syndrome.
I do however find it disturbing that a licensed electrician found code issues at your home. Maybe time to invite my old master electrician buddy down for some free golf
