Fire may occur in flight, but is more likely on the ground. Sometimes it
happens when the engine is started, in which case a fire extinguisher is handy. The most serious fire is one that occurs in an accident. In that event, fuel may be spread throughout the cabin. The best protection is to not have the fuel end up in the cabin - which is a design problem. Another consideration is the clothing of the pilot. There is no sense in making the material in the cabin fireproof, then wear synthetic clothing that will make you a crispy critter. Fire protection is a full package, not just window dressing.
