Dear
  The derivation could be as follows
Heat   Mass  ( Mass = density times volume )
Heat
Density Volume
For a wire you can treat it  as cylinder with volume
2 r h ( h =length of the cylinder )

Heat 
= iR t    ( R h/a  R = Resistance )
a = r2
we can write

i2
  density (Volume ) ( r2 /h) { Cross multiplying }
Volume=2
rh , Substituting this

i2
r3   

As far as fuse is concerned the wire has to be of high   melting point for any wire this will not be practically apllicable
