The possibility is there, but I don't know of any gliders that have

I do know of at least a couple gliders that caught on fire on the ramp
due to the canopy, and some electrical fires in the air, but none from a
crash. I think there was 2-22 or 2-33 that ignited the skid during a
landing, and at least started smoking. True?

Not sure if you meant pure gliders or motorgliders.
I cetrainly know of an RF5 which hit a power line durimg low flying
and burned when it hit the ground.
