Amazing picture ! Under special circumstances such an event could be possible 
even on Earth and
in my opinion, it would ignite a fire for sure. Perhaps 1 of 1000 meteorite 
hits ignite something on the ground e.g. dry grass.

Is there a proofed example ?

With best wishes from Ries-impact crater,

East of Jovis Tholus and in the midst of the Tharsis Volcanic field this dark, 
rayed spot is seen. Most likely this mark represents the shock wave of an 
incoming meteoroid that burned up before impact. The shock wave blasted the 
fine material away, leaving the darker basaltic surface exposed.
