Leaving the horrific scenes concerning the soldiers aside, how does a fire stop a Warrior?

I would have assumed (being a layman) that they were designed with a cold war fight in mind i.e. NBC capable, EMP hardened etc etc so how does a petrol bomb disable it?

There have been losses of M1A1 main battle tanks and the question applies to them as well.

Any information gratefully received.

Cheers
