If the oven caused a fire severe enough to justify calling the fire
department then replace the oven, it's not safe. And have someone who
knows what he's doing do the replacement to make sure that the
replacement is installed properly and doesn't start another fire.

What would make it unsafe and un-repairable? Electric ranges are really
rather simple devices with few parts in the circuit.
