battery caught on fire and roasted some stuff..help!!

last night my brother came in and got me and said my car was smoking. i run outside and from under the hood it is pluming smoke i open it up and the battery is on fire burning very badly. my problem is, i cant seem to find out what that unit that sits to the right of the battery when looking straight on at the car is? it got burnt to **** and has all the wires and **** running through it. it is some sort of fiber made box. can someone please help me with this issue. i am at my wits end. thanks.

That box (if you lift off the lid) contains most of the electronics to run the car, ecm, k40 etc etc
