My post crossed with that of FP.

Hindenburg may be one of the few where fire was the sole cause, but there were dozens involving fire resulting from some other cause.
I realise fire in a "conventional" aircraft is potentially disastrous, but it's a different ball game with a bag of explosive gas.
That's why they stopped using it.
