wiring

The visible wiring is almost certainly the BMS connection. The heavy current connection between cells would most likely be by bars. I imagine the point you are making is that the BMS wiring would have been better tied to a supporting structure rather than draped over the cells where possibly warm metal might damage the insulation and cause a short. It does appear to be formed into a loom away from the terminals and busbars. One would hope the battery terminals would also have insulated covering. In general things often look more of a mess having caught fire than they did before.
