A fire detection camera system could have picked out the heat plume in a short amount of time, and parked the robots as far away as possible from it. The article even comments on how cold the warehouse was, so any heat from fire in 'the hive' should have been easily detectable.
My bets are that it started somewhere totally different and unrelated to the robot system. Will be interesting to see why their system failed.
