My guess would be that the marinade contained oil. Oils will flame up at high temperatures or when in contact with something that is very hot. Most likely oil dripped onto the hot surface and flamed up, causing the oven to appear to be on fire. The same thing happens when fat melts onto the coals of a grill. I would suggest using a broiling pan to catch drippings in the future. A marinade with a high concentration of alcohol could have the same effect, although is not as likely because of the fast evaporation.

Another possibility is a dirty oven. Something already in the oven caught fire.
