Some meteorite in Africa, if I remember (don´t remember this hammers
name) hit an
oil-lamp and caused a fire ;-)

The fires of 1871 (including the Great Chicago Fire) were theorized to have
been started by meteorites/fragments of Comet Biela:

And, of course, the Tunguska air burst set 800 sq miles of forest on fire:

A similar (though much much smaller) event is thought to have happened in
1564 in Jacksonville, Florida due to a meteor airburst:

So can meteors cause fires? Yep. When they explode before impacting.

The air tankers responding to these fires were also grounded by meteor

Hello all,
I am investigating a case here in Brazil where something has
fallen from the sky and caused fire on a 500 m2 area.
Witnesses heared a loud
buzz and soon noticed smoke and fire on a nearby mountain. Some work have
been
done on the
local by the fire department and nothing was found related to
aircraft or any other kind of device.
Does anyone know any similar case
caused by a meteorite? These are not common events related to meteorite
falls.
Thanks
