Many of us have batteries that 'only just' fit the battery locker.
Your friend had a fire because either the battery and/or charger and/or cabling were faulty! - NOT the fit in the battery box!!! Only caveat on that is that cables should not be compressed or pinched together by the tight fit to the point that insulation may become compromised - don't forget to allow for when the door is closed.
In normal use/conditions, batteries may get SLIGHTLY warm on charge, but not so hot that they require significant ventilation space to cool them! If they are HOT, something is VERY wrong!
And no, it's not a stupid question, it's a very valid question if you have concerns, and others mislead you into worrying.
