I've seen many of them arc, and not catch fire. Fire can occur if the flyback becomes boiling hot.

But with everything properly adjusted a typical flyback shouldn't get hot enough to melt the wax--never mind vaporise, which is what would have to happen in order for it to take flame.

And with all shielding in place the chances of flame spreading elsewhere are slim.
