Part 33 Safety Sensor
2. High Limit Thermostat: A high temperature limiter is installed on the bottom of the hopper. If this sensor is exposed to temperatures higher than 158 degrees then the stove is shut off.

Check it - some have to be reset
 
As Whitnuckler said, the overheat switch has most likely popped.
It will have a red top. Push it down, should hear a pop, and it stays down
After a hopper fire, most likely the cause of no start .

How small is this sensor? I looked everywhere is it near something? Do I have to unscrew it to reset it?
I looked at this again - it looks like it's not a thermodisk but a sensor called Protection Sensor. It could have been damaged. Check your hopper door switch too. Check to see if there are any fuses on the board.

This is the wire I found hanging

Here is a picture of the safety sensor. If you have a meter you could try and read the ohms although I'm not sure what it's made of ie thermistor or thermocouple.

This is what they say the temperature sensor is. You could check it too.

I see a label for earthquake sensor????

You also will have a room temperature sensor.
