Default First car fire....what to do now?---still shaking

I was trying to install the power steering pump and I had a scary fire in my 69 Lemans. I forgot to disconnect the battery cables and I dropped the power steering pump onto a live junction. That stupid junction is a hot spot that provides constant 12V. It started sparking and flaming almost immediately. I looked underneath the car and a cable was red-not . I disconnected the battery cables and looked underneath the car and saw the underside on fire. I grabbed a fire extinguisher and put out the fire underneath the car.

My question is how do i safely get the car back on the road. should i rely on a pro to go through the wiring? would you get the insurance company involved.
