A fuse (internal or external) would only "blow" in the event of an overload - that is, excessive current.

Battery pack fires are usually caused by either physical damage to one or more cells, or catastrophic failure of one cell - which initiates catastrophic failure in adjacent cells, etc. Neither of those events would be stopped by a fuse.

Catastrophic cell failure may occur during charging - but charging is relatively low current, so the fuse wouldn't stop that either.

Of course, I do agree that having to send it back to the service center is far preferable than having a fire.
