I had put in a 130 amp alternator on my car with a defective voltage regulator. I had to disconect the output form it so it wopuldn't fry the elecrtical system. I tried to get it to a gas station and the alternator cought fire kinda like yours. I had the hood open and it was more of a flash then it went out. I don't know what I would have done it it had not gone out. I went out and bought an extinguisher later that night.
