I would have to review your lease or rental agreement to determine whether or not the landlord has liability. Hopefully you had some form of renters insurance and therefore another potential means of recovery. You should engage an attorney with all of the details to counsel you on your options and opportunities for recovery.

It depends on whether or not you can prove it was the landlord's fault.

You will need to check your lease agreement to see what happens in the event a fire occurs.

The answer to your question depends on whether the landlord owns the mobile home, and whether the fire department report will support your claim a faulty wiring.
