Fires in car crashes are actually quite rare. That's very much a Hollywood-ism.

Yes they’re rare but they still do happen. Next time you’re making a long drive on the freeway, watch the edges of the road for blackened pavement indicating a car caught fire and burned to the ground in that spot. It might be more often than you think.
