Here are some pics of the calipers and e-brakes.
I am replacing pretty much everything, pads, rotors, MC, and calipers.

That is a massive brake system failure.
That came within seconds of incinerating the car.
Professional and personal opinion..
I would replace the:
* Master Cylinder
* Rear Rotors
* Rear Calipers
* New Rear Caliper mounting Bolts
* Rear Pads
* Rear Hoses
* Park Brake Shoes
* Flush the total brake system
* Sand blast the backing plates on the car and repaint
Before considering re-mounting wheels, I would need to inspect the tires and rims with EXTREME care for heat damage.
A test drive will then be needed to determine if rear wheel bearings are damaged.
