I second this wholeheartedly. I see you've already dealt with the general issue to some degree, but I would be sure to do something to reassure your child that your house is not about to fall down, too.
Obviously, you can't promise that it won't happen (it's a really good bet, but a bummer if you are proven wrong), but I would explain how sometimes things like this happen and that is why you have smoke detectors, etc.
I also think it can't hurt to talk about what to do if a smoke detector goes off.
