It's a little more complicated than that. Since an ICE engine catches on fire so often (every 3 minutes, so 175,000 per year!) no one reports it. You cannot find it by searching google. You don't get meaningful results for "corvette fires" but they are happening. But teslas are almost always news. bolts aren't quite as important as teslas in terms of getting news. But it is interesting that there are not that many reports. Also, Volts (not bolts) should probably catch on fire as frequently as regular gas cars but I didn't find results online about that.
So in summary, (1) teslas are the hype car so issues get reported, (2) bolts have few reports, but they aren't quite the same hype car, but it is a good sign for bolts. (3) ice car fires don't get reported because they are so common. So it's hard to draw conclusions but I will offer that Bolts aren't terrible when it comes to fires because they'd probably get more reports.
