There were 174,000 gasoline vehicle fires in 2015. That was the last year that NFPA has statics for. In 2011, the year before Tesla released the Model S, there were 187,500 vehicle fires.

Doing a quick scan of Google news, there were at least four gasoline vehicle fires TODAY in just the first page of results. I suspect that most gasoline vehicle fires are not even reported in the news because it is such a common occurrence.

Bottom line is that people are much more likely to die in a gasoline vehicle fire than in an electric vehicle fire.
